I have this plant. I picked it up from aquaBid.

It's a vallisneria that stays really small. In my tanks where Vallisneria spiralis gets over 20 centimeters, the V. petite stays under 6 centimeters.

It's also different than V. nana which tends to stay really thin but still grows over 12 cm tall at times.

V. petite seems to want a richer substrate than the more common varieties and species. It doesn't quickly from a dense carpet unless I use something like Eco Complete.
