Both species are pollinated by the wind; and, as is the case with wind-pollinated flowers generally, the stamens protrude well out of the flower, and produce abundance of pollen.
Thus, some flowers are best pollinated by the aid of certain nocturnal insects, which they attract at night by the expansion of their pale-coloured corollas and by the emission of fragrant perfumes.

The several individuals may be left to pollinate [290] each other, or they may be artificially pollinated with their own pollen.
At all events the fact that they may bear abundant seed when properly pollinated is an indication of successful experiments on the possibility of gaining a hereditary race with exclusively peloric flowers.
The outer stamens remain normal and fertile, and the flowers, when pollinatedwith their own pollen, bear as rich a harvest of seeds as other opium-poppies.
The number of nuts collected at the time of harvesting compared with the number of female flowers pollinated was taken as a measure of how successful the pollinations were.

The evergreens are good illustrations of wind-pollinated plants, and their showers of pollen are very familiar to those who live near pine forests.
As a result of all this, the flower is pollinated and seeds are formed, which develop abundant nourishment for the moth larvae, whose eggs had been laid in the ovule.
In wind-pollinated plants not only must the pollen be excessively abundant, but it must also be very light and dry.
But the most encouraging feature of these chinquapin-crenata crosses is the excellence of their seedlings as grown from chance or self-pollinated nuts.
