How is it possible in Oxalis and Viola plants to produce assured seed-sets even in the absence of pollinators?

Oxalis and Viola or pea produce cleistogamous flowers, in which anthers and stigma lie close to each other; when the anthers dehisce in the flower buds, the pollen grains fall on the stigma and fertilization is effected leading to assured seed-set.
