Hippuris
Hippuris, the Mare's tail, was previously the sole genus in the family Hippuridaceae. Following
genetic research by the
Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, it has now been transferred to the family
Plantaginaceae, with Hippuridaceae being reduced to
synonymy under Plantaginaceae.It includes one to three species depending on taxonomic interpretation. Some authorities only accept the first species of those listed below, treating the other two as synonyms of it:
Common mare's tail, Hippuris vulgarisMountain mare's tail, Hippuris montanaFourleaf mare's tail, Hippuris tetraphyllaThey are
aquatic plants found in shallow
ponds and
streams, both slow-moving and fast-flowing. This flowering plant is sometimes mistakenly identified as the non-flowering
horsetail.
