Detailed explanation-1: -Anemophilous, or wind pollinated flowers, are usually small and inconspicuous, and do not possess a scent or produce nectar. The anthers may produce a large number of pollen grains, while the stamens are generally long and protrude out of flower.
Detailed explanation-2: -Characteristics of wind pollinated flowers are: Well exposed stamens. Produce large number of pollens. Light and non sticky pollens.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pollen grains of wind-pollinated flowers are produced in large quantities to make sure that at least some pollen grains reach the stigmas of other flowers and successful pollination takes place as many pollen grains are wasted. These pollen grains are light and hence are easily transferred to other flowers.
