木賊目(學名:Equisetales)是木賊綱下的一個目,其下包含四個科[1][2] ,其中僅木賊科木賊屬的物種仍生存在現今的地球上,如木賊、問荊等。此外生存於古生代石炭紀的高大樹狀蕨類如蘆木等也屬於本目物種。 分類 †古蘆木科 Archaeocalamitaceae †古蘆木屬 Archaeocalamites †蘆木科 Calamitaceae †輪葉屬 Annularia †節髓木屬 Arthropitys †星葉屬 Asterophyllites †星髓根屬 Astromyelon †蘆木屬 Calamites †Calamocarpon †蘆孢穗屬 Calamostachys †環孢穗屬 Cingularia †Mazostachys †Paleostachya 木賊科 Equisetaceae †似木賊屬 Equisetites 木賊屬 Equisetum †杯葉科 Phyllothecaceae †杯葉屬 Phyllotheca 參考文獻 ^ Stanich, Nicholas; Gar W.

Equisetales is an order of subclass Equisetidae with only one living family, Equisetaceae, containing the genus Equisetum (horsetails), as well as a variety of extinct groups, including the tree-like Calamitaceae.

==Classification== In the molecular phylogenetic classification of Smith et al. in 2006, Equisetales, in its present circumscription, was held to be the sole member of class Equisetopsida. The linear sequence of Christenhusz et al. (2011), intended for compatibility with the classification of Chase and Reveal (2009) which placed all land plants in Equisetopsida, made it the sole member of subclass Equisetidae, equivalent to Smith's Equisetopsida. The placement of Equisetales in subclass Equisetidae has subsequently been followed in the classifications of Christenhusz and Chase (2014) and PPG I (2016).
