Plant ID

[Immortal1]

So, one of the aquarium things that I am, well terrible at, is keeping track of what I have. I honestly think its because - why log a bunch of plants if only a few like the soup I serve? So, that brings me to here - asking the "right questions"
While at AGA 2022 I bought several plants - hoping some would work out. Turns out 2 of them are working out very well. Can anyone ID what these 2 are?

This one tends to have longer internodes, appears more of an olive green generally than what the pics show. And of course is a very fast grower. I think I got 6 stems at AGA and now have about 30. In post #23 of my build thread you can get an idea just how tall this plant was before I did a major trim (front right corner)



This one is a very nice grass green, smaller leaves, somewhat longer internode. Grows very straight in my tank. Not as fast as the one above - about as fast as Rotala rotundifolia. In post #23 of my build thread you can see this plant in the back right. Tank is a standard 75g Marineland so the tank is 21" tall and a few stems are almost to the surface.




I'm sure as I go thru my old plant list I will find a few more. Thanks in advance.

Second looks like bacopa monnieri? First like some kind of ludwigia

I would tend to agree with you on the Bacopa monnieri. Some of the Google images look very close to what I have. Thank You!!!

The first one looks like Hygrophila sp brown.

Thank-you! In doing some more research I am thinking you may be correct. The various Ludwigia that I looked at (glandulosa) don't look as similar as the Hygo you mentioned.

Linn I kept the Hygro Sp. Brown many years ago. Agreed that could be it.

Here's mine from way back when. It was a weed.

Well Gregg, I will agree with you on one part...
It is a weed! It also seems to like sending out horizontal runners. I do agree, your pic looks very familiar

1st could be Ludwigia polycarpa especially if it colors up real nice with brownish orange hue's.
2nd def a Bocopa sp.

2nd is definitely moneywort aka bacopa monnieri
