Best answer

The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant is called geitonogamy. 

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.
