You didn't happen to take a closeup of its flower did you?

Founds lots and lots of what I think is some Echinodorus species
during a hike today.

Here's a picture of a bunch:

Hard to tell from the pic, but the pictured plant was about 2 feet
tall. The flower stalks look just like the flower stalks I've seen
from Echinodorus in my tanks.

The hike wasn't an area that I would have expected to find aquatic
plants. There were hundreds and hundreds of these growing in a
mountain meadow, about 11,000 feet. They were usually next to tiny
mountain brooks, but some of them were in the middle of the field, no
were near the water.
