is the bottom rooted or a bulb?  looks like maybe a Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae, or a wavy onion plant (I forget the name)?  what was it "supposed" to be norm?

Wouldn't be Crinum natans?

Without seeing the entire plant, I can only suggest that it looks very strongly to be an aponogeton, longiplumulosus.  I am assuming the leaves are more than two feet long.

It would appear by the plantlets, that you could be garnering AHAP points as well.

yep sas that's the one I was thinking.  but norm, babble is far more the expert than I, so I'm betting he's right.  :)

they were sold as aponogeton crispus and the other one appears to be one.
It has a tuber and is over 2 feet long. babble has seen it.
