¨@¨¨¨¨@¨¨¨ 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. ¨@@¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
