    Location: Claridon Woodlands

    Wildlife Seen: 2 plants Botany at Claridon Woodlands

    Behavior Observed:

    I was studying botany and fitness bike riding. I found a tall buttercup plant (Ranaculus acris) and a horsetail plant (Equisetum). The horsetail is most interesting! They represent the oldest extant genus within the vascular plants, possibly dating back to the Triassic Period (250 to 201 million years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!).
