I got these on a recent trip, and due to the blacklisting of many plants in SA, I better find out what they are before posting any threads about them...... (the lfs just listed them as "Plants.... R20 Each")

Hygrophila difformis - emersed form. You have to wait for the emersed leaves to drop. Submerged leaves will look quite different, very branchy and pretty like a fern.

Hygrophila polysperma (I think) could be also H. corymbosa, but I can't tell so much

Hydrocotyle leucocephala

Alternantera reineckii

I think most of these have been grown emersed (out of the water) so there will be an adjustment period when they shed leaves and such.
