    My guess would be that both your first 2 plants are variations of Ludwigias and the 3rd is definitely water sprite...... The last one could well be some sort of dwarf lilly in the "Tiger Lotus" family.....

    My guess would be ammannia gracilis.

    In your first post the first pick it looks more like Hygrophila difformis. Watersprite has got more of a rosette style growth and doesn't form such prominent nodes.
