  Equisetaceae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The fertile stems may look similar to or different from sterile stems.
All Equisetaceae reproduce by spores dispersed from sporangia at the stem tips, have a free-living gametophyte generation that produces gametes, and require water for fertilization.
Equisetaceae are often found in relatively wet habitats, but they can also be found in apparently dry habitats such as railroad embankments.

 Southwest Colorado Wildflowers, Equisetum arvense
he Equisetaceae Family is the sole survivor of a line of plants going back three hundred million years; members of this family gave rise to many of our coal deposits.
Equisetaceae are widespread through the United States and in the San Juans they are commonly seen near streams and in damp forests and meadows.
This streamside and wetlands loving Equisetaceae has a light and then dark band at each stem joint and the spore producing flower cone is pointed at the tip.

 Non-Flowering Plant Families, UH Botany
The Equisetaceae are terrestrial, herbaceous, homosporous vascular plants comprising a single genus with about 15 species.
The free-living sporophytic plant body consists of a rhizome with adventitious roots, and an aerial portion with ribbed, silicified stems that are hollow except at the jointed nodes which bear whorls of reduced scalelike megaphyllous leaves, sometimes alternating with branches.
Cells in the stem may be silicified or glasslike, contributing to the utility of the stems in scouring pots and pans, a quality that was exploited by pioneers in western North America.

 botanical.com - A Modern Herbal | Horsetails - Herb Profile and Information
The Horsetails belong to a class of plants, the Equisetaceae, that has no direct affinity with any other group of British plants.
The class includes only a single genus, Equisetum, the name derived from the Latin words equus (a horse) and seta (a bristle), from the peculiar bristly appearance of the jointed stems of the plants, which have also earned them their popular names of Horsetail, Bottle-brush and Paddock-pipes.
The Equisetaceae have an external resemblance in habit to Casuarina or Ephedra, and as regards the heads of fructification to Zamia (a genus of Cycadaceae).
