  -> dat ben ik niet met je eens, de regel zegt: Als het eerste deel een dierennaam is en het tweede deel een plantkundige aanduiding, schrijf je geen tussen-n, zie bijvoorbeeld http://www.taalthuis.com/nl/nspelling3.htm
agree  Leo van Zanten: Het is inderdaad paardestaart. Het hele genus heet zelfs paardestaarten. Er zijn zo'n 15 soorten in dit genus. Misschien voor cosmetica produkten toch beter om de latijnse naam te laten staan.
