Geitonogamy is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant. It can be seen in maize (monoecious), castor (monoecious), and in chasmogamous flowers of Oxalis, Commelina, Viola, and Hibiscus (bisexual flowers). Papaya is dioecious; thus, autogamy and geitonogamy are not possible.
