Question: Study and describe the characteristics of anemophilous flower?
Anemophilous flowers are specially adapted for wind pollination. They usually have small, inconspicuous flowers that don't need to attract animals with bright colors or scents. Instead, they produce large amounts of light, dry pollen that can be easily carried by the wind. Their stamens and pistils are often extended to maximize pollen exposure and capture. They lack nectar and often have feathery or brush-like stigmas to catch airborne pollen efficiently. These flowers are positioned in a way to ensure maximum wind exposure, ensuring that despite the lack of targeted pollinators, their reproduction chances are high.
