Hi,
Although Tropica plants are disallowed in the US you may want to check their website for identification although they don't always show the emersed state=>
Tropica
There are one or two Asian vendor websites I find helpful as reference because of the accuracy of the photos: My favourite is AquaspotWorld=>

Emmersed P. Stelleta should be needle leafed often with serrated edges. Here is a Tropica version 1 week or so after planting. Other than being a bit taller their form is pretty much what it was at planting:
Cheers,
