¨@@¨¨@¨@¨@ 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. ¨@¨@@¨@¨¨@
