| It seems to be growing in a couple of outdoor pots. It appears to be an annual of some sorts and grow very slow. Odd looking thing. I am in LA CA. |

| It looks like a type of Horsetail (Equisetaceae) family. |

| Thanks, I checked that out and it does look similar however horsetail seems to grow out of a center shoot. This stuff seems to grow out of many shoots coming directly out of the ground. |

Hi again.
Whats the big plant? I have looked again and it also looks like Carmichaelia enysii, but thats from New Zealand? |
RE: What is this?

| The big plant is a Washington (fan) Palm that I had grown from a seed in a five gallon paint bucket. It's about 7 years old now. |

| Agree with lycopus..Psilotum nudum. Common name is Whisk Fern (it's not a fern). A really primative plant-been around for 450 million+ years. It has no leaves, seeds, fruit or roots. |

| Lycopus- YES, we have a winner! That is exactly what it is. Thanks |
