And now, it's time for yet another round of:
<crowd yelling> Name! That! Plant!

I got my alternanthera reineckii today, and as a bonus I guess, he sent me some of these. I have no idea what they are. Who on here does?

Sorry, but there will be no prize of any cash value for this round.

Definitely looks like the moneywort pics on google. Many thanks.

Bonus Round: my unknown sword species had one of these on it for the first time a couple weeks ago, and I cut it off when I switched tanks. Now it has another. I'm assuming it's trying to flower, but I doubt it will. Maybe this will help ID the species? Maybe I should leave It and see if it blooms?

It's a runner! Dang it I have been trying to get mine to do that! If it gets to the surface it will flower but if you can keep it submerged it will make new plants on each of the nodes. Kind of like a spider plant.
 
Since it's making a bee-line for the surface, should I keep it under by weighing it down to the substrate somehow? Or just as long as it's underwater will it sprout roots along its length?
 
It'll sprout new plants above water also, just tends to dry out if they are getting too close to the light.

The mystery plant kinda looks like emersed form bacopa Australis as well.

I agree. I just got a couple Bacopa plants and they look like that.

I had runners on my Amazon sword when I bought it. It was awesome because now I have 8 plants.
 
Definitely not that. It's the big one behind the lily...

I have Dwarf chain sword that is fairly freshly planted. One plant of the 5 i got in the bunch has 2 runner stems which have 5 new plants forming and the runners are expanding still. Most of the other plants have runners forming too
