Hi, I bought a pot luck trio of damaged plants for £4.99 from Aqua Essentials as I figured it was worth a go. I was pleasantly surprised to get 3 decent plants, albeit a bit under par. However, there are no labels (possibly part of the reason they were pot luck!) so I'm hoping folk here will recognise them.
First is, I think, an Echinodorus of some description. Not a plant I've ever actually grown before so haven't a clue which it might be.

Second is, at a guess, a Hygrophila sp.

Last, possibly Ludwigia?

Thanks for any help in making sure I plant these in the right place!

Second looks like hygrophila, possibly one of the big ones like corymbosa or 53b
Last is rotala macrandra. They all look in good health, so a good buy!
 
Thanks! I was quite pleased for a fiver! They don't seem to list R. macandra on their website, maybe it'll look different once it's recovered. At least I got the genera right on the Hygrophila, I hoped the red edge to the leaf might help with ID, but again, maybe it'll be easier once it's grown a bit.
