Name the type of pollination in self-incompatible plants.

Xenogamy

Explanation: In Self-incompatible plants self-pollination (i.e., pollination from same flower or other flowers of same plant) doesn’t occur. So in such case cross-pollination particularly xenogamy takes place.


That is transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of a different plant.
