Hippuris
Hippuris, the Mare's tail, was previously the sole genus in the family Hippuridaceae. Following genetic research by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, it has now been transferred to the family Plantaginaceae, with Hippuridaceae being reduced to a synonym of Plantaginaceae.
It includes one to three species depending on taxonomic interpretation. Some authorities only accept the first species of those listed below, treating the other two as synonyms of it:
- Mountain mare's tail, Hippuris montana
- Fourleaf mare's tail, ''Hippuris tetraphylla
They are aquatic plants found in shallow ponds and streams, both slow-moving and fast-flowing. This flowering plant is sometimes mistakenly identified as the non-flowering horsetail.

Hubris
by: ShriekbackHoly and separate
Fading as I fade
Sicky embellishment
Traitor at my gate
Is golden with my pain
Is sweeter than my breath
The spoilt child of my love
Could never detect love
My hubris, my hubris: what could ever dream like this
My hubris: what could ever sting like this
Hopeless possession
The splendour of nightmare
Sacred infection
Wholly indelible
Pure as my cruelty
All heart and silence
As weak as this cold light
It feels as I feel
My hubris, my hubris: what could ever dream like this
My hubris: what could ever sting like this
My hubris, my hubris: what could ever dream like this
My hubris, my hubris: what could ever sting like this
