Plant of the class Equisetales, related to
ferns and clubmosses. There are about 35
living species, bearing their spores on cones
at the stem tip. The upright stems are
ribbed, and often have spaced whorls of
branches. Today they are of modest size, but
hundreds of millions of years ago giant
tree-like forms existed.
