Vanilla flowers are hermaphroditic: they carry both male and female organs; however, to avoid self-pollination, a membrane separates those organs. From Wordnik.com. [The Christmas Cookie Club] Reference
Outcrossing (pollination by pollen from another plant) is evolutionarily advantageous because the offspring are more variable than those from self-pollination. From Wordnik.com. [Pollination ecology of desert plants] Reference
Dr. von Faber of Java has recently shown that whilst self-pollination is the rule, cross fertilisation occurs between the flowers on adjacent or interlocking trees. From Wordnik.com. [Cocoa and Chocolate Their History from Plantation to Consumer] Reference
Pollination can be cross-pollination with a pollinator and an external pollenizer, self-pollenization with a pollinator, or self-pollination without any pollinator. From Wordnik.com. [Pollination] Reference
This fact, and the fact that the crops are small, I have attributed to the partial inefficiency of self-pollination, there being no evident outside source of pollen. From Wordnik.com. [Northern Nut Growers Association Thirty-Fourth Annual Report 1943] Reference
Two thyme plants started by cuttings from the same original plant may pollinate each other, because they are genetically identical this is self-pollination, not cross-pollination. From Wordnik.com. [5. How plants live and grow] Reference
I suspect it would be favored in situations where pollen from diverse sources is available, but the danger of self-pollination or pollination from very-near relatives is also high. From Wordnik.com. [On the evolution of Irreducible Complexity - The Panda's Thumb] Reference
While self-sterile plants are incapable of fertilization by self-pollination, genetically different individual plants of the same variety can be fertilized by cross-pollination (Figure 6.9). From Wordnik.com. [5. How plants live and grow] Reference
Other plants have chemical or physical barriers to self-pollination and need to be cross-pollinated: with these self-infertile plants, not only pollinators must be considered but pollenizers as well. From Wordnik.com. [Pollination] Reference
Callery pears have a built-in safety lock against self-pollination. From Wordnik.com. [Science News / Features, Blog Entries, Column Entries, Issues, News Items and Book Reviews] Reference

They removed the anthers from young flower buds to rule out self-pollination. From Wordnik.com. [innovations-report] Reference
The cashew flowers are pollinated by bats and many kinds of insects, but they are also capable of self-pollination. From Wordnik.com. [CreationWiki - Recent changes [en]] Reference
The anther can be on the same flower as the stamen this is called self-pollination or it can come from a different flower. From Wordnik.com. [CreationWiki - Recent changes [en]] Reference
They are sometimes called pure lines, because after self-pollination (same plant is both male and female) all offspring are identical to the parent plant. From Wordnik.com. [Science Blog] Reference
In plants however, the production of female and male parts at different times serves to prevent self-pollination and instead allow for cross-fertilization. From Wordnik.com. [CreationWiki - Recent changes [en]] Reference
And Bodbyl-Roels warns that in the long term, self-pollination reduces genetic diversity, leading to plants that are less able to cope with environmental stresses. From Wordnik.com. [New Scientist - Online News] Reference
