Hi all,
I'm pretty sure it is a Charophyte (Chara or Nitella spp.) these are highly modified green algae that resemble higher plants. They are also called "Stoneworts", as the stems are stiff & calcified (a bit like the marine red algae Corallina). They are well known for having extremely large cells.
They are pretty difficult to I.D to species level, even in the UK. If you find them in the wild it almost indicates good water quality as they are some of the first plants to be lost with increasing eutrophication.
