I have added them to the tank and have pics of those to but will add them if i need to... Many thanks
 
The first one looks like Ludwigia Palustris Red. Thats all I know, and the plant in the top right corner in pic 3 is non-aquatic
 
I have been trying to find out what that plant is called (top right pic 3) I think it is called green dracena, It can be used as an aquatic plant as well as non aquatic.
 
the plant in the top right of pic 3 is a dracaena, which will start to rot within a couple of months of being in your tank.

No it cant unfortunately. Not unless you want a slowly rotting plant in your aquarium that will do nothing other than look out of place and attract algae ;).

First pic is indeed Ludwigia of some type, though an in-tank photo may be better for a more accurate ID.

Second pic is a Myriophyllum species and a clump of what looks like Utricularia (also in last pic).

Third pic is another species of Myriophyllum, looks like M.aquaticum , the non-aquatic Dracancea sand that you need to remove (plant pot on the windowsill will do nicely) and a species of Echinodorus (not sure which one, but leaf shape will probably change once planted in your aquarium anyway).

Fourth pic is Limnophila aromatica in the middle, Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig' " in the middle, and the rest I've done in that pic already.

Fifth pic is at the top left (also in second last pic), Vallisneria tortifolia on the left, in the middle is Ophiopogon japonicus (another non-aquatic that you need to remove) and above that is Cabomba caroliniana.

:)
 
Thanks a million three-fingers, was frustrating when i opened the package and there was no description of what was sent...

In that first pic the middle one is also non-aquatic remember (google "mondo grass") :).

I'd say Ludwigia repens :).

Remember when planting to remove any lead weight/elastic band/foam and plant each stem individually spread apart, otherwise the stems often rot where they are clumped together under the gravel :).
