Produced by or originating from flowers; relating to flower formation or development.
From Greek 'anthos' (flower) + '-genous' (produced by, generated from). This Latin-influenced suffix combination became standard in botanical terminology during the 1800s to describe flower-derived structures.
Pollen and seeds are anthogenous products—they literally come FROM the flower—so when scientists use this term, they're really saying 'this thing exists because of flowers.'
