	World of Equisetum
		The Horsetails are plants of a single living genus, Equisetum, and of the single family Equisetaceae of the single order Equisetales and the single classis Sphenopsida.
		These curious plants are the relicts of an ancient family known through fossils from as early as 325 million years ago, the geological period (Upper Carboniferous) when the remains of plants became the vast coal deposits that we use today.
		The species of Equisetum are found growing in wet places, such as standing water of shallow ponds or ditches, marshy areas, wet meadows, and moist woods.

	Equisetum Hymale
		The Equisetum species are in the family, Equisetaceae, which is in the plant division, Pteridophyta.
		This means that Equisetum species are closely related to ferns, and their reproductive spores are dispersed by the winds.
		It is picked in its bright green state, dried over a period of time in its original shape (long stems), and when it has hardened and turned a grayish green it is ready to be broken into the small segments.

		Equisetum are still unknown in North America, but they should be sought, especially north of 45° N latitude.
		Because Equisetum are rarely encountered as lone stems in the field, a quick survey of the clump is sufficient to determine subgenus.
		Equisetum is the sole surviving genus of a complex group of primitive plants which covered the planet during the Carboniferous period more than 300 million years ago.

	Mexico Desconocido: plants in extinction Equisetum (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It was during this period that species and forms of equisetum reached their greatest degree of diversity, ranging from small aquatic herbs (similar to those that exist today) to some amazing samples between 15 and 20 meters in height.
		The magnificent equisetum forests (and their close relatives, the calamites –; a similar looking plant but much larger) started disappearing about 280 million years ago, during the Permian era, and by the end of the Tertiary period, some two million years ago, only a few herbaceous species were left.
		Equisetum plants can be found in the herb section of markets in some remote villages and even in some of the bigger cities, where modern methods mix with ancestral traditions.

	National Collection of Equisetum: A Brief Introduction to Equisetum
		The genus Equisetum ('Horsetails') are the survivors of a major division of the plant world, quite distinct from other groups such as flowering plants, conifers and ferns.
		Equisetum is the sole surviving genus of the class Sphenopsida, which in the Carboniferous period included tree-like forms, growing to over 30m, such as the Calamites whose fossil remains are a major contributor to the coal measures.
		These plants were similar in form to the modern Equisetum, differing mainly in their size, the degree of branching and the existence of secondary ('woody') thickening of the stems.

	Equisetum: How to study?
		Equisetum is often called the "scouring rush," because the rough stems have been used for scouring kettles.
		If a handful of Equisetum fluviatile or E. hiemale growing in water be pulled up, scores of roottips may be secured in a few minutes.
		The Gametophytes - The spores of Equisetum germinate as soon as they are shed, but, like all spores with a considerable amount of chlorophyll, they do not long retain the power of germination.

		Equisetum is used in Costa Rica medicinally as treatment of kidney trouble in humans’ (2).
		Equisetum is classified as a spore bearing, vascular, annual or perennial herbs with a free-living gametophyte.
		Equisetum usually has a rough texture due to silica uptake, which is believed to maintain erectness except for some South American larger species that are believed to rely also on the surrounding flora for support (2,4).

	Horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.)
		Note : Equisetum arvense should not be confused with members of the genus Laminaria, kelp, or brown alga, for which "horsetail" has been used as a synonym.
		The name Equisetum is derived from equus, "horse" and seta, "bristle." Preliminary human and laboratory research suggests that horsetail may increase the amount of urine produced by the body.
		Standardization may be difficult, as approximately 25 species of Equisetum exist, and it is often difficult to differentiate between species.

		The modern survivors, comprising a single genus Equisetum in the group Equisetophyta, are small and are usually not the dominant species in a community.
		The modern group Equisetum is divided into two subgroups: those where the stem does not have branches (usually referred to as scouring rushes) and those where the stem does have branches (usually referred to as horsetails).
		The silica granules also make Equisetum very irritating to the stomach of cows that feed on them, so farmers are not pleased to find them in their fields.

		Stems have a high silica content and were used by early Americans for polishing pots and pans, hence the common name of scouring rush.
		Equisetum is the single surviving genus of a class of primitive vascular plants that dates back to the mid-Devonian period (350 + million years ago).
		Today, the equisetums are categorized as fern allies in large part because they, like the ferns, are non-flowering, seedless plants which reproduce by spores.
