 Equisetophyta :: Plantae : Gourt
This class is often placed as the sole member of the Division Equisetophyta (also called Arthrophyta in older works), though some recent molecular analyses place the genus within Pteridophyta, related to Marattiales.
Other classes and orders of Equisetophyta are known from the fossil record, where they were important members of the world flora during the Carboniferous period.
The name horsetail arose because it was thought that the stalk resembled a horse's tail; the name Equisetum is from the Latin equus, "horse", and seta, "bristle".

 Botany/Equisetophyta - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
Horsetails like these can be common in open fields in some parts of the world.
The Equisetophyta is a very old division—the plants of this division were among the first plants to grow on land.
Equisetophyta are sometimes reffered to as fern allies, as they have the same life cycles as ferns, and have similar developments that allow them to grow taller than the bryophytes.
