Garg <[email protected]> These are Equisetum diffusum. A. Soni sent me the first two (without collector) and I told him they are inadequate as we must see a close-up of the stem-sheath and teeth, to see if the ridges below the teeth are double or single, and I had to see a little of the stem below the strobilus to see if it was green and branched - all characters of E. diffusum as opposed to E. arvense. So your last photo, which I hadn't seen before, shows (just!) that it is diffusum with double ridges. Glad you showed the tip of the come as that shows it is not E. ramosissimum which, despite its great variation in branching forms, always has a pointed little mucro at the top of the cone. Best wishes, Chris Fraser-Jenkins, [email protected] P.S. in J. & K., E. arvense is generally commoner, and higher and further into the valley etc., but you get E. diffusum more commonly in the outer hills and foothills, where was it from in J. & K. (and A.K.).? On Monday, 5 December 2022 at 10:31:46 GMT, J.M.
