Yellow Glasswort Salicornia fragilis and Long-spiked Glasswort Salicornia dolichostachya. Two other 'species' that don't usually pose ID problems. Gutner Point, Hayling Island. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Interesting saltmarsh community developing on part of Seaton Common (North Tees). Reddish plant is Purple Glasswort (Salicornia ramosissima), which favours upper saltmarsh rather than inter-tidal mud. Twite are specialist feeders on Salicornia seeds so may use this habitat. @teesbirds.bsky.social

One of easier Glassworts to identify: One-flowered Glasswort Salicornia disarticulata. Also its hybrid with Purple Glasswort S. ramosossima, Salicornia x marshallii. You'll have to take my word for it! Gutner Point, Hayling Island. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Very much at the other end of the #seedheads spectrum, Yellow Glasswort (Salicornia fragilis) - Salicornia's have some of the least showy flowers in the plant kingdom.

Courtesy of @kentwildlife.bsky.social, we were able to visit the shingle spit & saltmarsh at Castle Foote on the N Kent coast today. Highlights included the scarce Small Cord-grass Spartina maritime, & four Glasswort species. #saltmarsh @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Rock Samphire cascading down the cliffs at Winspit. Edible but nowhere near as succulent as Salicornia.

One-flowered glasswort (Salicornia disarticulata) still looking good on a North Norfolk saltmarsh. Distinctive little thing once known. The single flowers seem to typically turn reddish. Most other glassworts had died off for the winter already.

"Salicorne" en el calendario republicano francés, se refiere al género Salicornia en general (unas 30 especies de plantas halófitas). La Sarcocornia fruticosa antes se clasificaba dentro de Salicornia y es la más habitual en cocina. Hilo con lo poco que sé sobre la salicornia en general 😅 🧵🌿
