What is Strobilus of Equisetum?

Horsetails (Equisetum arvense) are hollow-stemmed plants that anchor deep into the ground by an extensive, creeping root system. Also commonly known as mare's tail, horse pipes, or snake grass, their origins reach far back into the past, some 200 million years.

Where is strobili found in Lycopodium?

Usually the leaves near the apical portion of the branches bear sporangia and are called sporophylls. Depending upon the species the sporophylls may or may not be differentiated from the ordinary leaves. These sporophylls usually form a condense structure at the apex of the branches which are known as strobili.
