Equisetopsida is the name of a class of plants that traditionally contains the single genus Equisetum (horsestails). However in 2009, in an article titled "A phylogenetic classification of the land plants to accompany APG III," Mark W. Chase and James L. Reveal proposed a much broader sense for the Equisetopsida class name. In their system, Equisetopsida includes all land plants (embryophytes).[1]

Subclasses

The class Equisetopsida sensu Chase & Reveal, 2009, contains the following subclasses. Traditional divisions and classes, along with common names are shown in parentheses.[1]
