It appears to be an Amazon sword fern (Echinodorus bleheri). It's a pretty undemanding plant and it is very hardy, but it will sap all the nutrients out of your soil, so just be sure to treat your tank with some macro and micro nutrients and within a couple years your fern will outgrow your tank.
 
Mine out grew the 40cm high tank after 6 months, I kept on paring off the longer leaves every couple of months, agreed it'll spread some long roots about and sap nutrients, but it's foliage like that that requires lots of nutrients that go a long way to prevent Algae
