I plugged it from a creek somewhere at southern part of Oklahoma on a fishing trip. ****

It was growing fully submerged when I pick it up from the freezing water. Any suggestions are much appreciated

Looks like rotala indica. Pearling too but doesn't look healthy. Is it new to your aquariium?

I highly doubt that any plant which thrives in very cold water will do well or even survive over time in a tropical tank.

I don't think it's a rotala cause the leaves are much narrower and longer than rotala indica. The in the background of pic 2 is rotala indica. It looks more like stargrass to me but then it kind of growing upward while stargrass will grow sideway.

Maybe stargrass, maybe egeria najas. More likely Mayca.
