In Episode 14 of the Plants are People too Podcast we take a look at the common and easily recognizable Equisetum genus of plants in the Equisetaceae Family - that's right a monotypic genus.

Learn a little bit about the folk lore, and easily identified species in New England and for most of the United States. We also briefly look at Hippuris or (Mare's-tail) which IS a flowering plant in the Plantaginaceae Family.
