conelet

The exposed part of the scale of the conelet is the umbo of the ripe cone, a small definite area representing the earlier part of the biennial growth of the cone.

The Genus Pinus George Russell Shaw 1892

Figs. 257, showing mucronate scales of the conelet, and 259, showing dermal tissues of the leaf, are applicable also to this species.

Two other characters assist in establishing these subsections -- the conelet, unarmed in Cembra, armed in Paracembra -- the pits of the ray-cells of the wood, large in Cembra, small in Paracembra.

Scales of the conelet prolonged into long slender bristles.

From P. Massoniana it differs in its shorter leaves and yellow cone, but particularly in the more prominent prickles and thicker scales of its conelet (figs. 176, 179).

The two species vary in the color of the cone, the anatomy of the leaves, the buds, and in the armature of the conelet.

The Genus Pinus George Russell Shaw 1892

The conelet offers some distinctions of form, of color, and of length of peduncle, while in some species (sylvestris, caribaea, etc.) its reflexed position is an important specific character.

The Genus Pinus George Russell Shaw 1892

Its erect conelet and reflexed cone distinguish it from P. caribaea, which has both its conelet and cone reflexed.

The Genus Pinus George Russell Shaw 1892

It is distinct from P. densiflora by the medial ducts of its leaf, from P. nigra by the fewer, larger, brown scales of its cone, and from P. resinosa by the armature of its conelet.

The Genus Pinus George Russell Shaw 1892

Moreover the conelet is usually, perhaps always, subterminal in P. occidentalis.
