'''''Equestrius vindico''''', this is not the scientific name given by humans.
The '''Horsetail''' ({{j|ツクシ|Tsukushi|Horsetail}}) is a [[plant]] found in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. It has a brownish color and stiffly sticks out of the ground like a post.

The '''Horsetail''' is a brown plant that sticks out of the ground stiff like a post. It is a hardy plant that can survive when its supply of nourishment is very low in variety and quality, thus making it seen more often in rather shady places, such as caves. This plant reproducts by the release of spores. This plant, like most others, provides no help or threat to you and the [[Pikmin]].

It has an appearance in the game ''Super Paper Mario'', in which it restored 7 HP if eaten. Although it is  rather unlikely that this is a direct reference to Pikmin, the [[Pikmin series)|series]] probably inspired the appearence in ''Paper Mario''.

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 3.

The Horsetail (ツクシ?, lit.: "Horsetail") is a plant found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. It has a brownish color and stiffly sticks out of the ground like a post. This hardy plant can survive in soil conditions with few nutrients, but is still very rarely seen, only appearing in two overworld locations, one cave, and four challenge mode levels. Horsetails, unlike most plants, have retained the primitive method of reproducing via spores.

Notes

Olimar's notes

This variety of horsetail is prevalent in regions with low nutrient content in the soil. Unlike most other plants, this particular species propagates itself through the release of spores.

Louie's notes

Remove and discard the primitive, scaly leaves, then blanch the tender stock in a buttery broth.

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide[edit]

Much like foxtails, horsetails are tall and majestic. They thrive in soil that doesn't have enough nutrients for other types of plants.
