It is a native plant in my country - totally submersed plant mostly in big lake (the ones in the background). It is being sold as vegetable.

Sorry that I asked to ID this plant for its scientific name. I saw someone's tank on the net with this plant in. Local people just call it paddle plant.

Looks like a Echinodorus argentenensis. Hard to tell from pic.

If it's a local pond plant, it won't be an Echinodorus. You won't find those in Cambodia.
