Its time for a Wabi Kusa database, might be if you scavange flowgrow you might find it they usualy also show a emersed form. :) It's a stem allright, thats already a filter option..

You would need a flower for that.. :) At least i'm not the expert, but with determing sp. a flower will narrow down the search extensively.. Most field guides have indexes aimed toward flower color and type rather than leafshape, there must be an obvious reason for that.. I ran around a lot in nature with a pocket field guide. The plantlist was indexed with a little colored dot.. So if i found a plant with a yellow flower i searched the yellow dotted pages.

But it looks like a lanceolate leaf, that's all we have. And leafshape can change while maturing.. Color of leave is always difficult because different parameters can have rather impact on it's color, light and or substrate properties. :)

Whit leafshape you can only narrow it down over several sp. like Hygrophila sp. Pogostemon sp. ludwigia sp, persicaria sp. and a few more looking very simular. Then grow form might help, how the leaves grow on and around it's stem etc. etc.
