屬見內文木賊科（Equisetaceae）是蕨類植物木賊目的一個科，包括一個現存屬和一個化石屬。木賊目是木賊綱下唯一的一目。木賊綱通常被單獨置於木賊門下，雖然一些現代的分子分析將它放在蕨類植物門，和合囊蕨綱相關。木賊門的其他綱目都是由化石的記錄中得知，而它們都是石炭紀時世界植物區系的重要成員。分類木贼属（Equisetum）：包含約20個物種。似木贼属（Equisetites）†：外形和現代木賊屬一致，和新蘆木屬亦很相似[2]。參考資料 ^ A.

Equisetaceae, also known as the horsetail family, is a family of ferns and the only surviving family of the order Equisetales, with one surviving genus, Equisetum, comprising about twenty species.

== Evolution and systematics == Equisetaceae is the only surviving family of the Equisetales, a group with many fossils of large tree-like plants that possessed ribbed stems similar to modern horsetails. Pseudobornia is the oldest known relative of Equisetum; it grew in the late Devonian, about 375 million years ago and is assigned to its own order.
