strobilus
strobile

Conifer seeds develop inside a protective cone called a strobilus.

The flower of flowering plants is sometimes referred to as a bisexual strobilus.

Sporangia may have formed a two-rowed spike or strobilus.

In all cases, the lateral organs of the strobilus are microphylls, bearing sporangia.

The fruit-like strobilus consist of little but skin and a large nut-like seed 2-4 cm long inside.

Its formal name in botany is strobilus, plural strobili.

Fertile branches are produced in a terminal strobilus (8.5 cm long), which is subtended by whorls of normally developed leaves.

Gingko produces microsporophylls aggregated into a pollen strobilus.

Yesterday I heard Anna Arkadyevna say "in strobilus" and "plinths",' said Veslovsky.

The species categorized in Spathacea differ from the members of the other subsections by having large floral bracts, which make the inflorescence resemble a strobilus.

A strobilus (plural strobili) is a structure present on many land plant species consisting of sporangia-bearing structures densely aggregated along a stem.

M. expansa has a typical cestode body, consisting of the anterior scolex, followed by the neck and a highly extended body proper, the strobilus.

The botanical term galbulus (plural galbuli; from the Latin for a cypress cone) is sometimes used instead of strobilus for members of this family.

A cone (in formal botanical usage: strobilus, plural strobili) is an organ on plants in the division Pinophyta (conifers) that contains the reproductive structures.

The seed strobili of Ephedra and Gnetum are reduced, with Ephedra producing only two ovules per strobilus and Gnetum a single ovule.

The single living member of the Ginkgophyta, Ginkgo biloba produces pollen strobili, but the ovules are typically borne in pairs at the end of a stem, not in a strobilus.

The ancients knew the mountain as Strobilus, Latin for 'pine cone', a direct loan from the ancient Greek strobilos, meaning 'a twisted object' - a long established botanical term that describes the shape of the volcano's summit.

When there are more than a pair of ovules in "G. biloba", however, or when fossil taxa bearing large numbers of ovules are examined, it is clear that the paired ovules in the extant species are a highly reduced strobilus.

The fertile stems are produced in early spring before the sterile shoots, growing to 15-45 cm tall with an apical spore-bearing strobilus 4-10 cm long and 1-2 cm broad, and no side branches; the spores disperse in mid spring, with the fertile stems dying immediately after spore release.

This evolutionary convergence is not unusual, since the form of a strobilus is one of the most compact that can be achieved in arranging lateral organs around a cylindric axis, and the consolidation of reproductive parts in a strobilus may optimize spore dispersal and nutrient partitioning.
