Our native plant, the Jointed Glasswort (Salicornia herbacea, Linn.), was, as its name implies, also regarded as of value in the manufacture of glass. ---Description---It is a low-growing, annual herb, common in salt marshes and on muddy seashores all round the British Islands and was much used for this purpose.
Hornwort is, traditionally, used as a floating plant. It is usually sold in bunches and many anchor it to the bottom of the tank. It will grow as an anchored plant, but does much better as a floater. The lighting may be insufficient in meeting the needs of the plant.
