The adaptive floral characteristics of a wind pollinated plant are: 

(i) The flowers are small and inconspicuous. 

(ii) The pollen grains are light and non-sticky so that they can be easily transported by wind. 

(iii) They have well-exposed stamens so that pollens get easily dispersed. 

(iv) They often have feathery stigma to catch the pollens grains. 

(v) The pollen grains are dry and unwettable to prevent pollens from gaining moisture from air. 

(vi) The pistil usually has single ovule in each ovary.
