Male cone, versus female cone (ovulate cone).
examples of staminate flowers
The arrangement and location of staminate cones on a plant can help ensure cross-pollination by placing them at a height or distance that forces pollinators to come in contact with the pollen and then travel to other plants. This arrangement helps prevent self-pollination and encourages genetic diversity in the offspring. Additionally, timing the release of pollen when pollinators are active increases the chances of successful pollination between different plants.
In Pinus, male cones are typically located closer to the top of the tree while female cones are situated lower down. This spatial separation helps to prevent self-pollination and ensures that pollen carried by the wind is more likely to reach female cones of a different tree, increasing genetic diversity and the success of pollination.
Staminate plants (male reproductive structures) cannot produce seeds because they lack the necessary structures for seed formation, such as the ovule and the embryo sac. Instead, staminate structures produce pollen, which is essential for fertilizing the ovules in the pistil of female plants for seed production.
the staminate also known as the androecium is composed of the organs of the male reproductive system (flower). these are the anther and filament. the pistillate on the other hand (gynoecium) is composed of the organs of the female reproductive system. these are the pistil, style and ovary.
A staminate cone contains the male reproductive structures that produce microspores.An ovulate cone contains the female reproductive structures that produce megaspores.
The male gametophyte of pine develops in cluster at the tip of lower branches of the cones tree. The location of staminate cones ensures the success of pollination by cross fertilization.

Cucumbers, holly, and chrysanthemums have staminate flowers. A staminate flower has working stamens, but not functioning carpels. This is sometimes referred to as a "male" plant. Most flowers have functioning stamens and carpels.

staminate = has no pistil pistilate = has no stamens
because it is not able to reach the water and soil
Jasmine is polygamomonoecious i.e has pistillate,staminate and bisexual flowers.
Ice cream cones, mathematical cones, frustums, traffic cones, pine cones...
Seed cones (female cones) are much larger than pollen cones (male cones).
