Horsetail Equisetum arvense
Horsetail, Equisetum arvense, is a perennial plant also called 'marestail' or 'pipeweed'. It is an ancient relic of primeval times - a link between modern plants and extinct orders. Many of our coal measures are composed of fossilized remains of immense equisetum-like plants - forests of which once covered the earth.
