Geitonogamy

Geitonogamy (from Greek geiton (γείτων) = neighbor + gamein (γαμεῖν) = to marry) is a type of self-pollination.

[1] Geitonogamous pollination is sometimes distinguished from the fertilizations that can result from it, geitonogamy.

[2] If a plant is self-incompatible, geitonogamy can reduce seed production.

[5] 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.
