#@¶%%/«,¨¨ 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. ¨,«/%%¶@##
#@¶%%/«,¨¨ ¨¨,«/%%¶@#
