The flowers of some cultivars are fully
self-compatible, some are self-incompatible and many are between these two extremes (FREE, 1993).
Whether Galax can reproduce via self-fertilization is not known; however, other members of the family are
self-compatible (Ferrer and Good, 2012).
We examined the effect of inbreeding on fecundity and time to first reproduction in an apparently
self-compatible, simultaneously hermaphroditic marine nemertean worm Prosorhochmus americanus.

Some breeders think that it is necessary to emasculate chrysanthemum inflorescences before pollination during chrysanthemum hybridization breeding, because they believe that chrysanthemum is
self-compatible. In contrast, some other chrysanthemum breeders feel that it is unnecessary to make inflorescences emasculated during chrysanthemum hybridization breeding, as they think that chrysanthemum is a self-incompatible flower.
Self-compatible apple cultivars are not known globally, but "Megumi" is one of the few
self-compatible cultivars.
They are
self-compatible so you don''t need a partner for cross-pollination.

Many
self-compatible species have special adaptations to prevent the automatic self-pollination, such as species herkogamous, protandrous and protogynous.
I performed an experiment on a natural population of Tripterocalyx carneus to determine whether this species is
self-compatible. Individual flowers were emasculated, bagged to exclude pollinators, or both.
We suggest mechanisms such as herkogamy (separation of sexual organs) and dicogamy (differential maturation of sexual organs) prevent self pollination in
self-compatible species.
Flowers are adapted to outcrossing (pollination with flowers of other individuals), but plants appear to be
self-compatible, and self-pollination probably occurs at high levels in small populations (Bowles & Bell 1999).
