I purchased a plant from an Aquarium shop that labeled HoneyWort. I have never heard of this plant but it sold for only 2.99$ and i just purchased Floursescent light bulbs and, well, was kinda of excited about now being able to input plants into my 10 gallon tank. I attempted to do some research..but alas, there isnt an aquarium plant called honeywort!!!.

Soooo... what the heck is it? I dont have a pic but I can describe it. Its tall ( about 9 inches tall) VERY thin, skinny stalk (as thick as a pencil) , single stalk. with short ovalish leaves protruding through segments. Its just one single stem with leaves growing in the sections. Its a light green color with a bit of a yellowish tint (probably due to lack of iron)

the plant came buched together with 5 sepereate plants bound together with some metal thing.

any ideas? I read in a book something that looks alot like it but I just want to confirm. I will provide the name of the "look-a-like" later
 
The plant looks ALOT like the Creeping Jenny but the leaves are a little longer and ovalish and the stalks arent that thin and dont slant that much
