It looks like either a Windlov Fern or Java Fern. If it's a Windlov Fern they do really well attached to driftwood. I bought one on driftwood about 8 months ago. There was a few small pieces when I bought it and now it's 12" x 12". I have a low light tank, so I'm surprised at how well its grown.
This is how it looks now:

wow!! that was a quick reply, thanks for that. it does resemble your Windlov fern.
I'll try a piece on bog wood I'll let you know how I get on. I appreciate your help.

No probs. If it is Windlov it will grow new leaves with roots attached. I snip these off and tie on to driftwood. It's a cheap way of propagating these plants. Just a few pieces attached to a piece of driftwood in my lfs sell for £15. A rip off in my opinion.

I just Googled it and it is definitely Windlov, yes £15 a go is a bit rich. I'll get myself some bogwood/driftwood
and give it a try. thanks for the tips.
