Solution:

The androecium is a structure that consists of stamens. Each stamen represents the male reproductive organ. Every stamen consists of a stalk/filament and an anther. When the stamens may be united into one bunch or one bundle, this condition is called monadelphous. E.g., China rose. When two bundles may be united into one bunch, this condition is called diadelphous. When more than two bundles may be united into one bunch, this condition is called polyadelphous. E.g., Citrus. A flower having four stamens in two pairs of different lengths is called the didynamous stamen. E.g. Salvia. Corymb type (a typical raceme) of an inflorescence is observed in candytuft.
