  1. conical


  2. Cone

  3. as you are in the Botany category i would say the word is  - strobile

  4. Conicum, conicus, conica, are all used to designate a conic shape in plant species. However in Latin to refer to having the cone form conicus has the correct suffix or conic.

    Plant species with these names include the hyacinth Muscari conicum & sedge Carex conica.

    Pyramidalis is used for the three dimensional conical shape like the Arborvitae grow in and pyriformis for the lumpier pear shape.

    Conical flowers are coniflorus, conifera, or coniflorum.

    Cereus coniflorus.
