Bought it awhile ago and can't remember what it was.

That's what I thought. I was told this was amazon sword (below) and as you can see there is a difference.

There are different kinds of amazon swords, but needs wise they are almost all the same. They are heavy root feeders , so i would put some root tabs around your tank for them. :)
 
Different forms of the same species most likely. The last pic looks like it's kinda halfway between emersed and submersed forms. The emersed form Amazon sword has a longer stem.

A lot of plants have completely different shaped leaves when they are grown out of water compared to when they are grown in the water.

The stem is what was really throwing me off.
 
They also will grow differently with different light levels. They may just be getting different conditions being in different parts of the tank.
