These plants have been around for over 300 million years, dating back to the time of the dinosaurs. Horsetail plants are characterized by their unique, jointed stems, which resemble the tail of a horse (hence the name “horsetail”). The plant has a somewhat primitive structure and does not have flowers or seeds. Instead, it reproduces through spores.
