The strobilus in Selaginella is the sporangia-bearing region of the sporophyte. The sporangia arise in the axils of leaves called the sporophylls.
2006, Anil Kumar, Botany for Degree Pteridophyta, S. Chand Publishing, →ISBN:As a term, female strobilus refers to the stage prior to pollination... The strobilus emerges slowly from its bud then its scales flex open. Once pollinated the strobilus now becomes a conelet. At fertilization the conelet becomes a cone.
2009, Claire G. Williams, Conifer Reproductive Biology, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN:
- A layered reproductive stage in jellyfish, in which the swimming medusa form is produced.
