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.
The botanical name, Carex, was established by Linnaeus in his Species Plantarum in 1753. It comes from the Greek word âkerioâ, meaning âto cutâ. Sedges have tiny, saw-toothed edges; handle carefully! The common name, Sedge, is derived from the Latin word, âsecareâ, also meaning âto cutâ. People took this attribute very seriously! Carex are native to most of the world, with fewer species occurring in Africa.
