Equisetum schaffneri is a horsetail, a primitive spore-producing plant from the Neotropics. The sources describe it as a naturally occurring hybrid of E. giganteum and E. myriochaetum, so it is not a true species, and it is grown in moist, sunny spots with plenty of water.
Equisetum × schaffneri is a horsetail (family Equisetaceae) which is believed to be an ancient, naturally occurring, widely distributed hybrid between Equisetum giganteum and Equisetum myriochaetum, from the Neotropics.
