Lycksele Lappmark, 31/05/1732, ¶293:
‘Equisetum nudum s. aphyllum’ [Rough Horsetail] was growing on the shore; in most cases there was a shoot from both sides of the root. The sheaths on the stem are white and the upper and lower edges are black. What is noteworthy, moreover, is that the whole plant is perennial.
