Editing Equisetum (section)

===Species===
Currently, 18 species of ''Equisetum'' are accepted by [[Plants of the World Online]].<ref name=powo/> The living members are divided into three distinct lineages, which are usually treated as [[Subgenus|subgenera]]. The name of the type subgenus, ''Equisetum'', means "horse hair" in [[Latin]], while the name of the other large subgenus, ''Hippochaete'', means "horse hair" in [[Ancient Greek|Greek]]. [[Hybrid (biology)|Hybrid]]s are common, but hybridization has only been recorded between members of the same subgenus.<ref>{{Cite web
