xum’xum’ | Common Horsetail

xum’xum’ | Common Horsetail

Horsetails are primitive plants that are closely related to ferns, despite their quite different overall appearance. The common horsetail is extremely widespread and often occurs in populated areas as a garden weed throughout the coast. This plant produces bushy-looking, branched stems that are green and separate brownish, unbranched stems that bear the reproductive spores.
