EVERYPlant Crucicalamites Horsetail Tree 1 --15 Models-- 3D model

Name: Crucicalamites Horsetail Tree

Scientific: Calamites cruciatus

This Variation: 1 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 Crucicalamites and were distinct from other Calamites in the dense primary branching from the main 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. Fossils have been found virtually the world over suggesting the plant had a global range.

EVERYPlant has a mission ... which is to model every plant species in the world (plus some extinct, fantasy and sci-fi variations as well)! Okay, maybe not every plant, perhaps just the identifiably different species which have at least a common name!
