Can someone help me identify this plant? I got it a while back and can't remember what it's called. I would like to get some more for my 10 gallon tank. Also would a 15 want fluorescent be enough for them and a few java fern?

Side note: where can I find pre-soaked driftwood online. None of my LFS sell it and I really can't boil any or let soak for a long time. ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1414650859.604980.jpg

It looks like a species of Cryptocornye: C. lucens, C. beckettii, or C. willisii
Sorry, can't help with the DW.

Maybe even crypt wendtii, it looks a lot like some of mine. You can get similar ones at many LFS, or PetSmart sells it in shrimp wrapped packages from tissue culture. It looks like a horrible idea, but I've bought 3 packs of it now, and they all took off and grew well, better than crypts I've gotten at LFS's. They typically have both a green and red variant; the latter grows much slower and (I think) needs more light.
