\nAnemophilous plants are pollinated by wind. Since they do not rely on attracting animal pollinators, their flowers typically lack features like bright colours, sweet scents, and nectar, which are adaptations for attracting insects or birds.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe absence of nectar, bright petals, and strong scents is a characteristic adaptation of wind-pollinated (anemophilous) flowers because they do not need to bribe or lure pollinators.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOther characteristics of anemophilous flowers include small, inconspicuous flowers, large production of light, smooth pollen grains that are easily carried by wind, and often exposed stamens and large, feathery or branched stigmas to efficiently capture airborne pollen. Examples include grasses, oaks, ragweed, and pine trees.
