cross-pollination within the same plant as a result of the transfer of pollen by insects or by the wind from one flower to another. Geitonogamy is known to occur, for instance, among carrots during their flowering when flies crawl over the entire raceme and transfer the pollen picked up on one flower to the stigma of the pistil of another. Occasionally certain plants (toadflax, for example) do not produce seeds in geitonogamy. Example:toadflax,maize,banana,
