A plant having two stamens or male reproductive organs; any flower or plant belonging to the class Diandria.
From Greek 'di-' (two) and 'aner' (man, referring to male parts). This botanical term was systematized by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century as part of his sexual classification system for plants.
Linnaeus classified all flowering plants by counting stamens—plants like lilacs with exactly two stamens were called dianders, turning plant reproduction into a mathematical sorting system that revolutionized botany.
