Looking for a sword type plant...

I am looking for a South American species of plant that will grow out of the tank & survive the relatively dry air?

Obvious choice being the Echinodorus species but, I was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas?

My tank is actually designed to display such a plant as the light is suspended 600mm above the water & the planting area for the plant is 200mm below the surface.
I have been looking at Echinodorus palaefolius but I am not sure I like the long stems.

I have that it takes a while to settle in but once its settled it puts out new leafs pretty quickly from shoot to fullsized leaf in under 24h its pretty awesome.

I split mine in half the other week and both halfs seem to be doing good too
