Term:

Anemophily (anemophilous)

Definition:

Pollination by the wind, i.e., the movement of pollen by the from the stamens of a flower to the stigma of another flower. This includes movement for the anther to the stigma of the same flower, from the anther to the stigma of another flower on the same plant, or from the anther of a flower on one plant to the stigma of a flower on another plant. Same as wind pollination.

Notes:

Wind pollinated plants often have reduced perianths to facilitate the departure and arrival of pollen; feathery stigmas to capture pollen for the air; unisexual flowers; and the production of large amounts of small, smooth-walled pollen. Wind pollinated species often, but not always, have catkins as their inflorescences. Wind pollinated trees often flower when the leaves have not yet flushed in temperate regions where wind pollination is much more common than in tropical regions.
