Equisetum Arvense F. Boreale

Boreal horsetail, scientifically known as Equisetum arvense f. boreale, is a resilient and ancient plant that thrives in moist, nutrient-rich environments. This fern-like species is part of the Equisetaceae family, one of the oldest groups of vascular plants on Earth. It is characterized by its segmented stems and whorled arrangement of leaves, which give it a unique and prehistoric appearance. Despite its delicate look, the Boreal horsetail is highly adaptable and can be found in various habitats across northern regions. Its historical presence and ecological significance make it a fascinating subject for botanical study.
