Horsetails Through Form, Space, and Time Rothwell, Gar W [1], Stevenson, Dennis WM [2]. Horsetails through form, space, and time. In contrast to investigative results for many other clades of vascular plants, recent molecular biological/systematic studies and of organismal morphological/paleontological investigations have yielded increasingly divergent hypotheses about the homologies and systematic relationships of Equisetum, and about the placement of equisetophytes in the Genealogy of Life. The proposed symposium highlights the large number of distinctive and/or novel features of the genus including mode of habitat acquisition, sporophyte architecture and growth, leaf form, reproductive morphology, internal anatomy, vascular architecture, spore structure, gametophyte biology, gamete structure, and nucleotide sequences, and analyzes the most current data for inferring structure, development, homologies, and phylogenetic relationships of equisetophytes among the major clades of the subdivision Euphyllophytina.
