Describe the characteristic features of wind-pollinated flower. |
|
Answer» In wind pollinated flowers, pollination occurs by means of wind and this is known as anemophily. In wind pollinated flowers, the inflorescence is generally pendant for the purpose of swinging. Stigma may be large and are feathery and projected beyond the floral envelopes so that they can easily catch the pollen carried by the wind. Therefore the stigma is feathery and exserted i.e. projecting beyond or outside the floral envelopes so as to trap the pollen in the air easily. |
