Adelphy is a type of cohesion of stamens in which the stamens remain united by their filaments.

Stamens are diadelphous in the flowers of Fabaceae family.

In diadelphous condition, the filaments of the stamens are fused into two groups with fusion of 9 filaments as one group, while the remaining 1 stamen makes the other group.

The anthers are also typically dithecous, meaning they consist of two separate lobes or sacs.

In Solanaceae, stamens are pepipetalous. Stamens are attached to the petals and the absence of anthers with separate sacs. Liliaceae, on the other hand, typically have six stamens that are either free or fused to the perianth, and the anthers are usually monothecous (consisting of a single lobe or sac).
