Calamitaceae
Calamitaceae (horse-tails) A family of plants that were among the dominant vegetation of the Carboniferous swampland floras. They had a sporophyte that resembled a tree, with much secondary thickening in the stem and branches. Some grew to a height of 20–30 m. They appeared in the Upper Devonian and became extinct early in the Triassic.
