§§¨¨¨¨§¨¨¨ 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 §§¨¨§¨¨¨¨¨

¨§¨¨¨¨¨¨¨§ 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. §¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
