Horsetail was named for its bristly appearance. The genus name Equisetum is derived from the Latin words equus, meaning horse, and seta, meaning bristle. Other names for horsetail include shave-grass, bottle-brush, and paddock-pipes.
In naming plants, botanists use a Latin name made up of the genus and species of the plant. For example, under this system the plant, orange is known as Citrus aurantium dulcis L., where L stands for Linneaus, who first described the type of plant specimen.
