strobile

Males produce clouds of windblown pollen from tiny conelike strobiles in spring.

Fertile flowers in a short catkin, head, or strobile.

The blossoms are produced in August, and the strobiles are fit for gathering from the beginning of September to the middle of October, according to the weather.

Strobiliformis means fir-cone form; so called from the similarity of its undeveloped form to that of the strobile of the pine.

In the strobile of the hop, Humulus Lupulus, a like elongation may sometimes be met with, generally in association with a more or less leafy condition of some of the scales.
