Oleaceae

 19-Olea flowers

[FMP-field: image]
Like all members of the Oleaceae, the flowers of Olea europea have only two anthers. Olive trees have two types of flowers: perfect flowers that contain both stamens and an ovary and also male flowers that produce only pollen. These photos are of male flowers.
