Dwarf horsetail (Equisetum scirpoides)

Dwarf horsetail, also known as Dwarf Scouring-Rush, Sedge horsetail

The name "Equisetum" for the dwarf horsetail (Equisetum scirpoides) originates from Latin, combining "equus" (horse) and "seta" (bristle or hair), referring to the plant's bristly appearance. This perennial plant, resembling a smaller version of the Common Horsetail, is native to parts of North America and northern Eurasia.
