Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Autogamy is sometimes referred to as self-pollination, but this is not a true [synonym of] autogamy. Precision requires that the term self-pollination be restricted to those plants that accomplish pollination without an external pollinator. Most autogamous plants need the intervention of pollinators to transfer the pollen from the anther to the stigma of the flower because they are unable to self-pollinate. 4, record 1, English, - autogamy
