Congratulations on obtaining the first live plant. You are lucky because non of my bulbs survived. Maybe our Wal-Mart stock was not as fresh.
As Kashta pointed out, it is probably Aponogeton ulvaceus. I wonder if it survives under 0.5WPG light.

I believe the plant is Aponogeton crispus. A. crispus has thinner leaves and the leaves end in a spear-like tip. A. ulvaceus has broader leaves and the fluting on the leaves is much more pronounced. Its leaves also has a lighter green color and are more transparent.

I would have to say it does survive under .5 due to the fact that it has been in there for 2 months or so now! Anyway its moving to a higher light tank... i think there is like 40w over the 10g

This is my bulb stock from my Walmart. Had more but lil sis mistreated the tank and well only 3 survived.
