I picked up a couple unidentified plants from a LFS. They aren't the greatest specimens, but I am hoping you all can help me ID them... Here is the first:

Limnophila Aromatica ??

And this one is very hard to get a clear picture of... Maybe Ammannia Gracilis??

The first one is Limnophila aromatica and I am still looking up the second one.
 
Thanks for the confirm on #1... Here is another [bad] shot of suspect #2:

The leaves alternate, so if it was a compass, first node would be leaves North/South, next node East/West, then North/South, etc...

I think you might be right. Ammannia gracilis seems to have more of a redish stem... I will keep an eye on this guy and see how he grows out...
 
My first though was Ludwigia brevipes on the second one too. Then I scrolled down and saw that was rkilling's guess as well. So I think that is it.
 
Thanks guys! These are both plants I would not have expected to find at the LFS, and neither were labelled... Very cool.
