The reproductive structures, small, rounded, scaly, and conelike on pollen-bearing plants and minute, green, and solitary on ovule-bearing plants, are located between the leafstalk and the stem.
Abandoned were spherical balloons whose stripes made their infrared emissions fluctuate, rigid decoys that looked like warheads and balloons that inflated to conelike shapes.
Long and conelike, pointy at one end, flat at the other, the warheads can wobble and shift in complex ways while moving through space, presenting differing heat emissions to a distant sensor.
The lace bug deposits its eggs on the underside of a leaf and covers them with a mucous secretion that hardens into a dark, conelike form.
Pollen-bearing and ovule-bearing plants are usually separate; the pollen-bearing reproductive units are contained within conelike structures.
The lycophytes generally bear conelike structures called strobili, which are tight aggregations of sporophylls (sporangium-bearing leaves).
The female flowers occur in dense globular clusters that become woody and conelike at maturity, the woody segments enclosing the seeds.
Other characteristics include conelike clusters of terminally winged fruits, aromatic purplish brown twigs with winter buds resembling a duck's bill, and a straight trunk with an oblong crown.
The joints of the thumb were similarly coalesced into a single conelike spike that had limited mobility on the wrist.
A conelike bit of pith or a twist of fibre at the base of the dart makes it fit the tube snugly, ensuring that it will fly out of the tube from a puff of human breath.
