ANEMOPHILY

• When the pollen grains are transferred from one flower to the another flower through the wind then it is called anemophily and flower is known as anemophilous flower. 
• The anemophilous plants produce enormous amount of pollen grains. The pollen grains are very small, light weight and dry (non-sticky).
• Stigma is large often hairy or feathery to easily trap air borne pollen grains and mucilagenous (Sticky).
• They often possess well exposed stamens so that the pollens are easily dispersed into wind currents. Anemophilous flowers are neither attractive nor with fragrance. 
• They do not have nectar glands. 
• Anemophilous flowers are generally unisexual. 
• Maximum loss of pollen grains takes place in this type of pollination. It is completely non directional process. Wind pollinated flowers often have a single ovule in each ovary and numerous flowers are packed into an inflorescence eg. corn cob. 
• The tassels is styles and stigmas which wave in the wind to trap pollen grains. Pollination by wind is more common amongst abiotic pollinations. 
• Wind pollination is quite common in grasses. In maize (corn), sugarcane, bamboo, coconut, Cannabis, grasses, date palm wind pollination occurs.
