it's echinodorus bhleri. (one of the amazon swords)

it reproduces via a flower stalk as you see here in your picture. if you leave it you'll end up with this

if you want to plant the new plantlets wait until it has 3 or 4 roots about 2 inches long then cut it off the stem either side of the root bulb and plant. best bet is to leave it as long as possible as the main plant is feeding the plantlets at the moment. as soon as you chop them it'll have to fend for itself.
