i only took off a piece because I didn't want to ruin the small pond i found it in. It was basically a naturally dammed up part of a stream. I have never seen this before.

Looks like Callitriche which is a genus of Water-Starworts

Yeah but "native" plants are hard to locate in most areas, a lot of the "nuisance" plants in most states make great aquarium plants.
