Is it only producing the grass-like stolons? If it is, you COULD have U.praelonga. If it has both the grassy stolons, and the regular u.tricolor kidney shaped stolons, It may be tricolor infested with U. praelonga. There is no real way of telling so soon. Keep us updated.
The small leaves at the base look like some kind of utric, but not U. tricolor. I agree with Colieo that the taller one could be a species of grass - I am assuming the leaves are flat, not cylindrical.
If it is grass, it should have a fairly obvious vein running down the middle. If it is round in cross section it is definitely not a utric. The leaves at the bottom don't look a whole lot like U. tricolor, although the do look quite a bit U. tridentata - could the two names have been confused at some point. U. tricolor has kidney-shaped (reniform) leaves - more or less round to oval with a notch where the petiole joins the leaf.
Hey!
tricolor and tridentata can be very hard to tell apart....I have a terrarium where I have tridentata that is producing kidney shaped leaves, the only way I know it is tridentata is that before I changed the conditions in the terrarium it looked like tridentata, and if I remove it from the terrium it reverts back to looking like tridentata. I have also seen Tricolor look like tridentata. I would be hesitant to ID that plant, I would wait until it is a little larger. It doesnt really look like either to me (kinda looks like longifolia)!
The only thing I will say for sure is that that "grass" is not a Utric, probably some type of sedge.
