Cyclobalanopsis glauca (Thunb.) Oerst. is a species of evergreen. broadleaved and dioecious trees. Male catkins with floral primordia are formed in the buds of one-year old shoots in early March. Later, a protoderm, ground meristem and a procambium have differentiated in young anthers. Each young anther soon develops to four microsporangia. The anther wall layers develop completely by mid-March and consist of one-cell-layered epidermis, one-cell-layered endothecium, two middle layers and one-cell-layered tapetum. Microspore mother cells undergo meiosis through simultaneous cytokinesis in late March and give rise to tetrads of microspores, which are tetrahedrally arranged. Mature pollen grains contain 2 cells. Anthers are dehiscent and pollen grains shed by mid-April.
