How many pollinia are formed from one anther lobe in calotropis in the translator mechanism?

In Calotropis there are five stamens or ten anther lobes.





At the same time there are five paired pollinia ; so there is only one pollinium per anther lobe.





Two adjacent pollinia come together to form translator mechanism.
