Guess the plant!

Afternoon!

Here is another one for the plant freaks amongst you. Does anyone know what the heck this thing is? I found it on the beach. Quite a few meters away from the sea. This part of the beach does not get wet at high tide.


There weren't many of these about, I saw about two or three on the whole beach. It must be some sort of hardy sea plant.

Answers on a post card please! Let's see if anyone can beat my wife with tracking down this plant...

Cheerio,

Alex.
