It is quite an ugly looking little plant. What is its actual name?

Not horsetail, is it?

Very primitive plant, should be respected for its toughness and survival
;-)

The very things, of course, that make it so hard to get rid of!

It keeps coming back. Maybe, once the lawn is established, I can go
over it with feed and weed or something.
