Puppies can have vomiting and diarrhea, become dehydrated, and can even have bloody stools. The treatment is just an antibiotic, and most puppies do fine after medication, but you do need to take ...
Equisetum (/ ˌ ɛ k w ɪ ˈ s iː t əm /; horsetail) is the only living genus in Equisetaceae, a family of vascular plants that reproduce by spores rather than seeds. [2]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.
All extant species of Equisetum are herbaceous, and have lost the ability to produce secondary growth. [5] The underground parts of the plants consist of jointed rhizomes, from which roots and aerial axes emerge. The plants have intercalary meristems in each segment of the stem and rhizome that grow as the plant gets taller. This contrasts with ...
Equisetum arvense, the field horsetail or common horsetail, is an herbaceous perennial plant in the Equisetidae (horsetails) sub-class, native throughout the arctic and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
Equisetum praealtum, [1] the scouringrush horsetail, [2] is a species of Equisetum (horsetail) native to North America and northeastern Asia. [1] It was formerly widely treated as a subspecies or variety of the European and west Asian species Equisetum hyemale (rough horsetail), and still is by some authorities.
Equisetites is a "wastebin taxon" uniting all sorts of large horsetails from the Mesozoic; it is almost certainly paraphyletic and would probably warrant being subsumed in Equisetum. But while some of the species placed there are likely to be ancestral to the modern horsetails, there have been reports of secondary growth in other Equisetites ...
Equisetum hyemale (rough horsetail [2]) is an evergreen perennial herbaceous pteridophyte in the horsetail family Equisetaceae native to Eurasia and Greenland. It was formerly widely treated in a broader sense including a subspecies (subsp. affine) in North America, but this is now treated as a separate species, Equisetum praealtum. [3] [4]
Equisetum telmateia, the great horsetail, is a species of Equisetum (horsetail) native to Europe, western Asia and northwest Africa. [2] [3] It was formerly widely treated in a broader sense including a subspecies (subsp. braunii) in western North America, but this is now treated as a separate species, Equisetum braunii. [4] [5]
