Equisetum x alsaticum is the triple hybrid Equisetum hyemale x Equisetum x trachyodon, which corresponds to Equisetum hyemale x ( Equisetum hyemale x Equisetum variegatum ).
The plant occurs at few locations in Alsace (France) and Southern Baden (Germany, Baden-Württemberg). Important differences to Equisetum hyemale are that the bards at the sheaths are not lost so quickly, and that the central hole in the interior of the stem is smaller.
