The flowers themselves are reduced and have many features associated with wind pollination.
2.
Maize relies on wind pollination, so bees wouldn't be a factor.
3.
This tribe does share a number of distinctive morphological features, which seem to be associated with wind pollination.
4.
Wind pollination is the reproductive strategy adopted by the orchids and " Buddleja " are insect pollinated.
5.
The pollination is usually performed by insects, but wind pollination is also present ( in Coriariaceae and Datiscaceae ).
6.
In mid-summer, the female catkins mature and the male catkins expand and release pollen, and wind pollination takes place.
7.
The seed cones are green, 6 12 cm long and 5 10 cm in diameter, and mature about 18 20 months after wind pollination.
8.
Wind pollination is very imprecise, with a minute proportion of pollen grains landing by chance on a suitable receptive stigma, the rest being wasted in the environment.
9.
This develops competition between flowers and as a result flowers must provide incentives to appeal to pollinators ( unless the flower self-pollinates or is involved in wind pollination ).
10.
The flowers lack of any noticeable scent, their protruding stamens, and their mop-like stigmata suggest their adaptation to wind pollination, in contrast to the petals and night scent of " Struthiola ".
