Synanthery refers to the fusion of anthers in separate flowers, which results in a common structure that holds multiple anthers. Although synanthery is a distinctive botanical term, it has few synonyms. The closest words that could be used interchangeably with synanthery are syngenesious or synandrous, which essentially refer to the same phenomenon where a cluster of anthers is fused together. Other related terms that have slightly different meanings but can be used in a similar context include connation, coalescence, and fusion. However, synanthery remains the most widely accepted term to describe this unique fusion among plant anthers.
