Anemophily or wind pollination is a form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by wind. Anemophilous plants may be either gymnosperms (non-flowering) or angiosperms (flower-producing). However, flowering anemophilous species do not develop scented flowers, nor do they produce nectar. This distinguishes them from entomophilous and zoophilous species (whose pollen is spread by insects and vertebrates respectively).

In this case, plants are pollinated by wind. The flowers are inconspicuous and small. They are never coloured and showy. They neither emit any odor nor secrete any nectar to attract the insects. However, the pollens are produced in enormous numbers. They are light and dry.  Such pollens are easily carried away by wind and transferred to the stigmas. The occurrence of branched bushy stigma and comparatively large protruding stigma in grasses, bamboos, cereals, millets, sugarcane and other such plants help wind pollination. In Zeal Mays, (the male flowers are born in a terminal panicle of spikelets.  A few female spa dices are borne, each in a axil of leaf surrounded by spates. The style consists of long and silky threads. These are seen to hang i tufts from the spandex. When the anthers burst a cloud of pole grains, these float in air close round the plant. Ilydrophily This type of pollination takes place in aquatic plants. Water is the medium for transfer of pollen grains. Particularly, the submerged plants are adapted for this type of pollination e.g. Nqja, Vallisneria, Ilydrilla etc.
