Pine Cone (Female)
Pine Cone (Female) (Product Code: SCL465/0187) is a specimen of the female, seed-bearing cone of pine in a glass specimen jar, used to explain naked seeds and gymnosperm structure in botany laboratories. The woody seed cone is the gymnosperm structure students recognise most easily, and the jar lets a class study how these plants carry seeds exposed on cone scales rather than inside a fruit. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its biology lab equipment for schools and colleges.

What Is the Female Pine Cone Specimen Used For?
The female cone illustrates the meaning of the word gymnosperm, “naked seed”. Students observe the tough, overlapping scales arranged around the cone axis while the teacher explains that ovules develop on the upper surface of these scales instead of being enclosed in an ovary, as they are in flowering plants. It is also a good starting point for discussing how the scales open when the cone matures, allowing winged seeds to be carried away by the wind.
For comparison exercises, set the jar beside the male cone and a fern specimen: students can then trace the step from spore-bearing plants to seed plants within a single practical period. Many schools keep the pair of cones on a plant-diversity display as part of their biology teaching aids. Carry the jar with both hands, keep the lid sealed and store it upright in a shaded cupboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Pine Cone (Female) specimen mature and woody, or young?
Our product details describe the Pine Cone (Female) specimen as a female pine cone in a glass specimen jar but do not state its stage or size. If this matters for your syllabus, contact us before ordering and we will check the current supply.
Will seeds be visible on the Pine Cone (Female) specimen?
That depends on the individual cone and its stage, which our current information for the Pine Cone (Female) specimen does not specify. We can check what is available when you enquire and tell you before the quotation is confirmed.
Why are the male and female pine cones listed separately?
Each cone has its own product code, so you can order exactly the quantity you need of each. Most teachers order the Pine Cone (Female) specimen together with the male cone to show that pine produces both cone types on the same tree.
How should the Pine Cone (Female) jar be handled?
The Pine Cone (Female) specimen comes in a glass specimen jar, so carry it with two hands, keep it upright and store it on a low, stable shelf. The specimen is meant to be viewed through the glass rather than removed.
What should a quotation request for the Pine Cone (Female) include?
Send the product code SCL465/0187, the number of Pine Cone (Female) jars, your delivery location and any matching items such as the male cone or the gymnosperm life-cycle chart. ScienceLab quotes for India and international markets and confirms packing for glass jars at the same time.
Who supplies the Pine Cone (Female) specimen?
The Pine Cone (Female) specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources plant specimens for schools, colleges, institutions and dealers, and handles every enquiry directly from Ambala.
