Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plant is characterized by producing spores and sporangia in a conelike structure at the tips of stems and by having silica in the cell walls. This combination of features is found only in the horsetails (Equisetum spp.). Club mosses (Lycopodium spp.), spike mosses (Selaginella spp.), and whisk ferns (Psilotum spp.) also produce spores, but their sporangia are not arranged in cone-like structures. Calamites is an extinct genus of plants that lived during the Carboniferous period and had many characteristics of horsetails but also some features found in other groups.
