¨§§§§§§¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨§§
