Okay got this from my lfs, the one I deal with alot. A lady brought this plant in for me and they where holding it. The person couldn't remember what the plant was and I can't get ahold of the person who dropped it off for me go figure. I have guessed many times on what it might be. At first I thaught Anubias because it had what looked like a rehyzme and well it don't looks like what crypts have when they shoot off a new plantlet. I am still uncertain on what this is although it seems to grow well and the lfs don't normally get stuff like this, and knowing the lady that braught it in I know it was ordered in from eaither Asia, Mayalisa, Europe, Thailand, not really sure about he other places she gets from but those ones I know for sure. Any clues on either what it is or species would be appreciated ^^

I honestly wish it was, I now its not an Amazon sword I am aboout 50% sure its not part of the sword family, some reason I am still thinking Anubias for some reason just not sure on the strain, I am also about 75% sure its not a bog plant so maybe true aquatic not sure. If a flower came from it would make life easier, it seems to multiply really nice and the same way vallis do with runners, seems to root first than shoots off the leaves, the leaves start off a white to yellow colour and then as it ages gets to a green colour.

Since the photo I have cut the runners and planted the little plantlets, see what happens I guess
I have been to local fish stores and still no luck on finding this plant and searched the web like crazy only thing I can even think off is maybe
Anubias afzelii (Guessing the leaves are simular)
Saururus cernuus (Leaves arn't really the same)
So I figure its not them but something simular to them maybe even the same family but still not sure

Seems to shoot off a runner and roots kick in after this it shoots of clusters of about 3-4 leaves and then onto another runner
 
The leaves of the 1st plant arent in great health so it is hard to say as echinodorous sp look similar, which is whatI think it is.
The last is hygrophilia difformis

Good eye on the second one hehe I already knew what that was ^^

The first plant I got it when it was almost on the verge of dieing, but its doing better now just have to wait for it to get bigger I guess before it can be identified I still don't think its an amazon sword at all, it spreads like rosette plants in a way hmm....
