Solution

Wind pollination requires that the pollen grains are light and non-sticky so that they can be transported in wind currents. They often possess well-exposed stamens and large often-feathery stigma to easily trap air-borne pollen grains. Wind pollinated flowers often have a single ovule in each ovary and numerous flowers packed into an inflorescence.
