#$^/-,¨¨¨¨ the equisetum is a plant much older ¨¨¨¨,-/^$#
##$^/-,¨¨¨ than ferns, which are in turn much ¨¨¨,-/^$##
###$^/-,¨¨ older than most trees. it's light green ¨¨,-/^$###
####$^/-,¨ to yellow in color and is slightly ¨,-/^$####
###$^/-,¨¨ transparent. ¨¨,-/^$###
##$^/-,¨¨¨ ¨¨¨,-/^$##
#$^/-,¨¨¨¨ the plant has a spine. each vertebra is ¨¨¨¨,-/^$#
$^/-,¨¨¨¨¨ stacked upon the next, with spokelike ¨¨¨¨¨,-/^$
^/-,¨¨¨¨¨¨ ribs radiating outward. even so, it's ¨¨¨¨¨¨,-/^
/-,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ very light, being hollow. it's roughly ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,-/
