As the hop cone is used in the unpollinated, pre-seed stage, it is a strobilus.

strobilus (PO:0025083): A reproductive shoot system consisting of a number of modified leaves (sporophylls) or ovule-bearing scales grouped terminally on a stem.

Synonyms:
related: female cone

related: male cone
related: megastrobili
related: megastrobilus
narrow: compound strobilus
narrow: microstrobilus
narrow: ovulate cone
narrow: pollen cone
narrow: simple strobilus
exact: cone

This could actually be split into two child terms: microsporangiate strobili or pollen cones, and those bearing ovules are megasporangiate strobili or seed cones (or ovulate cones).
