A strobilus (pl.: strobili) is a structure present on many land plant species consisting of sporangia -bearing structures densely aggregated along a stem. Strobili are often called cones, but some botanists restrict the use of the term cone to the woody seed strobili of conifers.

A conifer cone, or in formal botanical usage a strobilus, pl.: strobili, is a seed-bearing organ on gymnosperm plants, especially in conifers and cycads. They are usually woody and variously conic, cylindrical, ovoid, to globular, and have scales and bracts arranged around a central axis, but can be fleshy and berry -like.

Conifer - Strobili, Pollination, Cone: In all conifers the organs containing microsporangia (“male”) are separate from those bearing megasporangia (“female”). Wide variations in the female (megasporangiate) reproductive structures among the conifers …

We may easily recognize the female strobili of pine, but people often mistake the fruit of some species like juniper and yew for berries. The fleshy seed cone of cypresses (and sometimes junipers) is also called a galbulus.

Some sporophylls are arranged in cone structures called strobili. The seedless vascular plants include club mosses, which are the most primitive; whisk ferns, which lost leaves and roots by reductive evolution; and horsetails and ferns.

Jun 9, 1993 · Flowers of the conifers (pine, spruce, fir, and other cone-bearing woody plants) are called strobili, which means small cones. They do not have a calyx, corolla, stamens, or pistils as many flowers do. The strobili consist of a central axis with distinctively shaped scales and bracts.

Early pollen cones (microsporangiate strobili) were simple structures consisting of an axis with modified leaves (microsporophylls) that bore microsporangia. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic. Lawrence R. Kirkendall, ... Bjarte H. Jordal.

Nov 23, 2015 · Pinecones, mature fronds of ferns, and flowers are all sporophylls —leaves that were modified structurally to bear sporangia. Strobili are structures that contain the sporangia. They are prominent in conifers and are known commonly …

Strobili are reproductive structures found in certain plants, particularly in gymnosperms and some ferns, which bear spores or seeds. These structures can be thought of as cones, with male strobili producing pollen and female strobili housing seeds, playing a crucial role in …

The strobili of Gnetum are compact or may become elongate with conspicuous nodes and internodes. In a microsporangiate, or pollen-producing, strobilus there are two fused bracts at each node forming a cup-shaped structure (collar) that encloses numerous fertile shoots.
