Any plants that don't need lighting? What plants for 15 watts?

My room has lots of windows and a door (so my room is bright), are there any plants that don't require a hood/light?

And if not, what plants are great for a 15watt bulb? (it's a ten gallon aquarium). In one of my tanks I have elodea, sag, and african fern. The one without a light has java fern, but hasn't produced babies.

I think with a 10gallon and a 15watt bulb you'll be fine for most of the hardy plants, you could probably do with abit more light power but if there is alot of natural light you should be fine, i think 3watts per gallon is about right (going from what I've read online) someone can correct me if I'm wrong, I'm only just getting into the planted tank side of the hobby
15 watts for a ten gallon would be fine for anubius nana, dwarf sag, or pretty much any other hardy plant. As for Daniel's comment 3 watts per gallon is probably only necessary for more needy high end plants. You'll be fine i think.
