Pollen, stamen, and anther are the floral equivalents of male sex glands and semen. Needless to point out perhaps, but the whole purpose behind the Chinese practice of dis-integrating the feet of young girls was「to economize with penile emissions.」
　. Oil extracted from iris plants is used as a sedative for medicinal purposes, useful during the beginning stages of「threads twisted around no-longer-integrated feet」(lower element). Dried iris roots can be chewed for a soothing effect. Orris oil is used as a perfume, and the original purpose of perfume was to mask stench, foul body odors. The oil solidifies at temperatures below that of the normal human body, but produces a lubricating effect with an attractive scent of iris when applied to (living) skin.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: leaf of the iris; variant of 藥|药
Japanese: anther
Unihan extended: orris root; leaf of the iris; medicine
EDRDG: pollen pod at tip of stamen; type of tall grass

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
