1. equisetum fluviatile

   Equisetum fluviatile, commonly known as water horsetail, is a perennial plant species within the Equisetaceae family. It is known for its hollow, jointed and rush-like stems and it commonly grows in wet habitats such as swamps, marshes and the edges of ponds and streams. It reproduces via spores rather than seeds. Despite its similarity to horsetails, it is more closely related to ferns. This plant is native to regions of North America, Asia, and Europe. It is also food for caterpillar species and can serve as an indicator species for wetland environments. Some consider it a weed, but it has historical uses in medicine and as an abrasive due to its high silica content.

1. Equisetum fluviatile

   The water horsetail, also known as the Swamp Horsetail, is a perennial horsetail that commonly grows in dense colonies along freshwater shorelines or in shallow water, growing in ponds, swamps, ditches, and other sluggish or still waters with mud bottoms. It is a herbaceous species, growing 30-100 cm tall with erect dark green stems 2-8 mm in diameter, smooth, with about 10-30 fine ridges. At each joint, the stem has a whorl of tiny, black-tipped scale leaves 5-10 mm long. Many, but not all, stems also have whorls of short ascending and spreading branches 1-5 cm long, with the longest branches on the lower middle of the stem. The side branches are slender, dark green, and have 1-8 nodes with a whorl of five scale leaves at each node. The Water Horsetail has the largest central hollow of the horsetails, with 80% of the stem diameter typically being hollow. The stems readily pull apart at the joints, and both fertile and sterile stems look alike. The Water Horsetail reproduces both by spores and vegetatively by rhizssomes. It primarily reproduces by vegetative means, with the majority of shoots arising from rhizomes. Spores are produced in blunt-tipped cones at the tips of some stems. The spore cones are yellowish-green, 1-2 cm long and 1 cm broad, with numerous scales in dense whorls.
