Pine cones

[Gurcharan Singh]

Dear members
While edting the English translation of a Book in Russian on productivivity of Pines I find diverse use of terms like strobilus, female strobilus, male strobilus Cone. It cunfuses  more when female strobilus and cone are used together in the same sentence. Can any colleague throw some light.
cheers
