Right, I'm fed up researching the origins of this plant (via Google), and 
that plant is going in my future Amazonian tank, whether or not it is 
'entirely' native to S. America, because although I have found many sites 
showing it to be native to N. America, I have found at least one (with a 
reference to Tropica) that says it comes from S. America, and it'll just 
look to damn good with my angels! Thank you for the pictures, I'm very 
grateful.
Only problem is now I've got to reduce the number of species of Sword 
plants somewhat (but they all look so good!!!). My current list of plants 
to buy is:

Large:
Alternathera Roseafolia
Hydrocotyle Leucocephala
Cabomba Piauhenyensis
Echinodorus Martii (Major)
Echindorus Osiris

Medium
Echinodorus Quadricostatus
Echinodorus uruguayensis

Foreground
Echinodorus Tenellus

Floating
Phyllanthus Fluitains
Eichhornia Crassipes (Water Hyacinth)
Limnobium Laevigatum
Ludwigia Helminthorrhiza

And now a few Sagittaria Subulata somewhere (probably the midground, 
planted lightly, as it is meant to represent what Angelfish swim through, 
which is another reasong I want this plant - even if it's not strictly 
accurate then it makes the overall appearance more realistic).

And this is all for a 30"x15"x18" tank...

Thanks for the pictures! :)
