Wild type and anomalous shaped pollen cones were studied. It is suggested that each perisporangiate microsporangiophore represents a strongly reduced flower (lateral pollen cone) and not a peltate microsporophyll. This explains their position in the axil of a scaly pherophyll. In the wild type, the axis of the flowers is so strongly reduced that it is no longer visible and the primordia of all inserted hyposporangiate microsporangiophores get in contact and fuse to a radial synangium. In some cases, the perisporangiate microsporangiophores/flowers were reduced to a single hyposporangiate microsporangiophore.
