Both in Selaginella and Equisetum.

Detailed explanation-1: -Equisetum and Selaginella are pteridophytes which produce strobili. Salvinia and Pteris are pteridophytes which do not produce strobili.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sporophytes bear sporangia that are subtended by leaf-like appendages called sporophylls. In some cases sporophylls may form distinct compact structures called strobili or cones (Selaginella, Equisetum). The sporangia produce spores by meiosis in spore mother cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Strobili or cones are found in some members of pteridophytes (Equisetum, Selaginella) and gymnosperms (Pinus).
Detailed explanation-4: -Non-flowering plants have strobili, or cones as dense and compact structures. They shield spores from wild animals and harsh climatic conditions by containing sporangia. Equisetum strobili can be found at the end of the stem.
