¨&&¨¨&&&&¨ the equisetum is a plant much older &&¨&&¨¨¨¨¨
¨&¨&¨&¨¨¨& than ferns, which are in turn much ¨¨&&¨&¨¨¨¨
¨&&&&&&¨¨& older than most trees. it's light green &¨&¨&&&¨¨¨
¨&¨¨¨¨¨&¨& to yellow in color and is slightly ¨&&&&¨¨&¨¨
¨&&¨¨¨¨&&& transparent. &&¨¨¨&¨&&¨
¨&¨&¨¨¨&¨¨ ¨¨&¨¨&&&¨&
&&&&&¨¨&&¨ the plant has a spine. each vertebra is ¨¨&&¨&¨¨&&
¨¨¨¨¨&¨&¨& stacked upon the next, with spokelike ¨¨&¨&&&¨&¨
¨¨¨¨¨&&&&& ribs radiating outward. even so, it's &¨&&&¨¨&&&
&¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨ very light, being hollow. it's roughly ¨&&¨¨&¨&¨¨
&&¨¨¨&&¨¨¨ the height of a foxes tail, and shares ¨&¨&¨&&&&¨
&¨&¨¨&¨&¨¨ a similar plumage. ¨&&&&&¨¨¨&
¨&&&¨&&&&¨ &&¨¨¨¨&¨¨&
&&¨¨&&¨¨¨& it likes partial shade and very damp &¨&¨¨¨&&¨&
¨¨&¨&¨&¨¨& areas ¨&&&¨¨&¨&&

¨&&&&&&¨&& when a colony numbers high enough, it ¨&&&&¨¨¨&¨
¨&¨¨¨¨¨&&¨ slices the air in the forest into ¨&¨¨¨&¨¨&&
&&&¨¨¨¨&¨& separate planes, a few centimeters in ¨&&¨¨&&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨¨¨&&& height. time can get diffracted in ¨&¨&¨&¨&&&
¨&¨&&¨¨&¨¨ these, hitting each in turn in a ¨&&&&&&&¨¨
¨&&&¨&¨&&¨ slightly different angle, and &&¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨
¨&¨¨&&&&¨& eventually spread thin. ¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨&&
