A plant classification characterized by having stamens (male reproductive parts) united into two groups or bundles.
From Greek dia- (two) + adelphos (brother). In botany, describes plants where the reproductive structures are literally 'brothered' into two distinct bundles.
Peas and beans are diadelphous—their pollen-making parts are bundled into two groups, which is one reason they're so great at making seeds and feeding humanity!
