equisetum, n. [L., the horsetail, fr. equus horse + seta a thick,, stiff hair, bristle.].
A genus of vascular, cryptogamic, herbaceous plants; -- also called horsetails . [1913 Webster]
" The Equiseta have hollow jointed stems and no true leaves. The cuticle often contains siliceous granules, so that one species (E. hyemale ) is used for scouring and polishing, under the name of Dutch rush or scouring rush ."
