I agree, it looks like Cryptocoryne ciliata. Take it out of the pot and white growing medium and plant it in your tank. Hopefully, it will grow roots and do okay.

This particular crypt requires more light than normal crypts so be sure to give it plenty of light. It also grows very tall, around 20". Don't be surprised if you don't see a lot of growth as I've read it only put out around 4-8 new leaves a year.
