Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L, Family-Anacardiaceae) is one of the first fruit trees from the new world to be introduced in the old world. Less attention has been given to this point. In recent times, the commercial importance of cashew is gaining momentum. 36 cashew germplasms with 4 anthers have taken for consideration. The significance of the dimorphism in anther size was less obvious, but the large another was more likely to be investigated by insect visitors due to its size and prominence in the flower. It was assumed that rapid lose of pollen viability under ambient conditions was a common phenomenon like other tropical crops.
