Please ID pine tree looking plant.

I bought this at the LFS and they didn't have anything labeled. Had a gift card and wanted to spend it so I got this plant. No idea what it is though. Thanks.

Looks like Ceratophyllum demersum aka hornwort to me.

Hornwort.

Yep, that's what it is, thanks.

This is actually a native plant here in Missouri. We call it "coontail", though. I bought some (as hornwort), but ... I could have gone to many local lakes and gotten some for free! Of course, I'd probably also get some extra "wildlife" with my plants ....

More wildlife than you might get with java fern? It is native and just for the record it is becoming a problem in some parts of the country where it is not native. So be careful with your plants.

Thanks I have Cardamine Lyrata in 2 of my tanks

Oh and I should mention I totally wrote the wrong plant name lol. I meant it could be Linmophila Sessiliflora.

Sorry about that
