Explanation
Solution
Anemophily is the pollination by wind. Anemophilous plants are characterized by small flowers, pollens present in large numbers which are small, dry, and light in weight, number of ovules is generally reduced in the ovary, and a feathery or brushy stigma to receive the pollen. All these features are shown by coconut flowers. In Vallisnertia pollination occurs outside water called epihydrophily. Callistemon (Bottlebrush) is pollinated by birds and is an example of ornithophily. Salvia is insect pollinated and is an example of entomophily.
