Galbulus
A galbulus is a fleshy cone (megastrobilus); chiefly relating to those borne by junipers and cypresses, and often mistakenly called a berry.{{cite book|last=Hart|first=G.T.|title=Plants in Literature and Life|year=2011|publisher=FriesenPress|location=Victoria, British Columbia, Canada|isbn=978-1-77067-442-4|page=140}} These cones (galbuli) are formed by fleshy cone scales which accrete into a single mass under a unified epidermis. Although originally used for the cypresses, the term is more applicable to the junipers.{{why|date=November 2024}}{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}
