June, Lake Lagunitas

Pine Branches, Lake (Lake Lagunitas) - Marin County  2023


Horsetails, Leaves (Lake Lagunitas) - Marin County  2023

Horsetails:

Equisetum (horsetail, snake grass, puzzlegrass) is the only living genus in Equisetaceae, a family of vascular plants that reproduce by spores rather than seeds.

Equisetum is a "living fossil", the only living genus of the entire subclass Equisetidae, which for over 100 million years was much more diverse and dominated the understorey of late Paleozoic forests. . . . Modern horsetails first appeared during the Jurassic period.
