Pine Cone (Male)
Pine Cone (Male) (Product Code: SCL464/0186) is a specimen of the male, pollen-bearing cone of pine in a glass specimen jar, used to teach gymnosperm reproduction in school and college botany laboratories. It gives classes a real conifer structure to examine when they learn how pines produce pollen without forming flowers, and it pairs directly with the female cone. The specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for institutions working on a biology lab setup.

What Is the Male Pine Cone Specimen Used For?
It is used to show that male pine cones are small and soft compared with the woody seed cones most people picture. In class, students look at how the cone is built from many small scales (microsporophylls) arranged spirally around a central axis, while the teacher explains that these scales carry pollen sacs whose pollen is carried away by the wind. Because the cone stays in its jar, the activity is purely observational, which makes it well suited to drawing and labelling work.
The specimen is most useful next to a female cone, so students can see for themselves that pine carries separate male and female cones on the same tree and link each one to the gymnosperm life cycle. For revision, ask students to explain why a pine tree produces pollen in such large amounts and to relate that to wind pollination. Clean the outside of the jar with a soft, dry cloth, and keep it upright and away from heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the male pine cone the same as the familiar woody pine cone?
No. The familiar woody cone is the female, seed-bearing cone. The Pine Cone (Male) specimen is the smaller, softer structure that produces pollen, which is why schools usually study it together with the female cone to cover both sides of pine reproduction.
How many cones are in one Pine Cone (Male) jar?
Our product details describe the Pine Cone (Male) specimen as a male pine cone in a glass specimen jar, without stating a count or size. Contact us and we will confirm what the current supply contains before you order.
Can students handle the Pine Cone (Male) specimen?
The Pine Cone (Male) specimen is intended for viewing through the glass, so the jar should stay closed. A hand lens gives students a closer view of the spirally arranged scales without opening the jar or disturbing the specimen.
Which topics does the Pine Cone (Male) specimen support?
The Pine Cone (Male) specimen supports lessons on gymnosperm reproduction, the difference between male and female cones, wind pollination and the pine life cycle in plant-kingdom chapters, from secondary school to introductory college botany.
Who supplies the Pine Cone (Male) specimen?
The Pine Cone (Male) specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources it for schools, colleges and dealers, and can quote it together with the female cone and gymnosperm charts.
What should a quotation request for the Pine Cone (Male) include?
Include the product code SCL464/0186, the number of Pine Cone (Male) jars, the delivery address and any related items, such as the female cone or life-cycle charts. Orders for India and international markets are handled, with packing for glass jars agreed at the quotation stage.
