Can anyone give me a plant ID?

I told my guy it looked like a sword but he assured me it was an anubias species

I have swords and anubias. That looks nothing like anubias. Root structure looks like a sword plant too.

Looks like a terrestrial plant.

Uh oh

I planted them with some root tabs underneath...
...if they're non aquatic will they die pretty quick?

It depends on what it is. Where did it come from? It could be an emersed form sword plant but I don't recognize it.
