Description
Name: Calamitina Horsetail Tree
Scientific: Calamites undulatus
This Variation: 3 of 4. This is a High Poly model. A Low Poly version is also available.
Notes: An extinct, tree-sized plants that lived during the Carboniferous and early Permian periods (about 360 to 250 million years ago) to which the modern horsetails (genus Equisetum) are closely related. Unlike their herbaceous modern counterparts, these plants were medium-sized trees which grew to heights of more than 10 meters. Although it's stem was woody, it was nonetheless a delicate plant that grew in the sub-story of prehistoric forests. Several sub-genera of Calamites existed, this species fell into the category Calamitina and is probably the best knbown of the Calamites. The terrestrial parts did not branch once emerged from the central stem. These plants grew from an underground connected network of rhizomes as well as from seeds. It appears to have preferred sandy riverbanks and floodplains and grew mainly as part of the sub-story of prehistoric forests. Fossils have been found virtually the world over suggesting the plant had a global range.
