As we discussed in concept
Geitonogamy -
Transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant.
- wherein
Although geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination involving a pollinating agent, genetically it is similar to autogamy since the pollen grains come from the same plant.
Pollination in which pollen grains are transferred from anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant.
