@¨¨¨@@¨¨@¨ the equisetum is a plant much older ¨@¨@¨@@¨¨@
@¨¨@¨@¨@@@ than ferns, which are in turn much @@@@@¨@¨@¨
@¨@@@@@¨¨¨ older than most trees. it's light green ¨¨¨¨@@@@@@

¨@¨¨¨@@¨@@ 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 @@@¨¨¨¨¨¨@
