1. Equisetum arvense

   Equisetum arvense, the field horsetail or common horsetail, is an herbaceous perennial plant in the Equisetidae (horsetails) sub-class, native throughout the arctic and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It has separate sterile non-reproductive and fertile spore-bearing stems growing from a perennial underground rhizomatous stem system. The fertile stems are produced in early spring and are non-photosynthetic, while the green sterile stems start to grow after the fertile stems have wilted and persist through the summer until the first autumn frosts. It is sometimes confused with mare's tail, Hippuris vulgaris.Rhizomes can pierce through the soil up to 6 feet (1.8 m) in depth. This allows this species to tolerate many conditions and is hard to get rid of even with the help of herbicides.

1. equisetum arvense

   Equisetum arvense, commonly known as field horsetail or common horsetail, is a perennial plant in the Equisetaceae family. It is found in a variety of habitats including wetlands, forests, and fields. It has a characteristic segmented, bamboo-like stem and branches out to form a feather-like appearance. It's one of the few surviving species of early plants that reproduced by spores, not seeds. Equisetum arvense is popular for its diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties in herbal medicine. However, it is often considered a weed in many places due to its invasive nature and resistance to most herbicides.

1. Equisetum arvense

   Equisetum arvense, the Field Horsetail or Common Horsetail, is a herbaceous perennial plant, native throughout the arctic and temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. It has separate sterile non-reproductive and fertile spore-bearing stems, growing from a perennial underground rhizomatous stem system. The fertile stems are produced in early spring and are non-photosynthetic, while the green sterile stems start to grow after the fertile stems have wilted, and persist through the summer until the first autumn frosts. The sterile stems are 10–90 cm tall and 3–5 mm diameter, with jointed segments around 2–5 cm long with whorls of side shoots at the segment joints; the side shoots have a diameter of about 1 mm. Some stems can have as many as 20 segments. The fertile stems are succulent-textured, off-white, 10–25 cm tall and 3–5 mm diameter, with 4–8 whorls of brown scale leaves, and an apical brown spore cone 10–40 mm long and 4–9 mm broad. It has a very high diploid number of 216. The specific name arvense is derived from the Latin arvensis, meaning "from the meadow, field or grassland."
