Does it look like hydrocotyle sp. Japan? The leaves look very similar.
 
It reminds me of a baby crypt. Does each leaf come from the bottom crown each on it's own stem?
 
The crown is the growing point that leaves/stems on plants like crypts and swords grow from. The roots grow under the crown. Since each left is growing off it's own stem I think it's a crypt.
 
I hate to say it but you could probably draw a better pic than those photos! :)
 
It's definitely not Hydrocotyle, I agree with those that said it looks like some species of crypt. Or perhaps a sword, but most likely a crypt. Let it grow, get some better pics, and we'll be able to get you a more accurate ID. Congrats on the bonus plant! Freebees are always nice! ;)
