Date Location Notes Images
May 5, 2012 Outside of Lisbon, Maine This plant was identified before the Early Spring Foraging Class. I misidentified Marsh Horsetail last year and removed those pictures. Notice the following features from the pictures below:
  • Length of the first internode of the branch is less than the end of the subtending stem sheath (to the tip of the stem leaves). See closeup.
  • The leaves on the stem have a white margin. See closeup.
  • The central cavity is less than 35% of the stem diameter.
