• Self-pollination (स्व-परागण) — Pollen reaches the stigma of the same flower or another flower of the same plant (e.g. pea, tomato, wheat).
• Cross-pollination (पर-परागण) — Pollen reaches the stigma of a flower on another plant of the same kind — by wind, water, insects or birds (e.g. papaya, maize). More variation.
• Plant 1 (पौधा 1) — Its anther releases pollen.
• Plant 2 (same species) (पौधा 2 (उसी प्रजाति का)) — Receives pollen from plant 1 in cross-pollination.
