Appendaged stamen

Would someone please define this term for me?

I'm asking because I've submitted photos of Hessea Stellaris for the wiki.
Seeds are forming and I was curious about pollinators of this plant. When I
looked in The Color Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs, the authors state: "Several
of the species, especially those with appendaged stamens, are pollinated by
flies, but the remainder are probably pollinated by bees and other
insects."

See the last of the newly posted photos of H.stellars, second row:

Thanks for the help,
