Hydrophily 2394829 169297715 2007-11-05T03:02:53Z Chobot 259798 robot Adding: [[ko:수매화]] {{main|Pollination syndrome}} '''Hydrophily''' is a fairly uncommon form of [[pollination]] whereby [[pollen]] is distributed by the flow of [[water]]s, particularly in [[river]]s and [[stream]]s. Hydrophilous species fall into two categories: those that distribute their pollen to the surface of water, and those that distribute it beneath the surface. Surface pollination is rare, and appears to be a transitional phase between [[anemophily|wind pollination]] and true hydrophily, where pollen is completely submerged. Surface hydrophily has been observed in several species of [[pondweed]] and [[waterweed]]. Species exhibiting true submerged hydrophily include ''[[Posidonia australis]]'' and [[ribbonweed]].
