WHAT DOES ANEMOPHILOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

anemophilous

Anemophily

Wind-pollination syndrome The flowers of wind-pollinated flowering plants, such as this saw-tooth oak, are less showy than insect-pollinated flowers. Anemophilous plants, such as this pine produce large quantities of pollen, which is carried on the wind. Anemophily or wind pollination is a form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by wind. Almost all gymnosperms are anemophilous, as are many plants in the order Poales, including grasses, sedges and rushes. Other common anemophilous plants are oaks, sweet chestnuts, alders and members of the family Juglandaceae.
