plant names please

[Martin in Holland]

In China (or Hong Kong) they don't seem to care about official plant names, but for me it would be helpful to know anyway so please help me with some of my plants.
Crypt. ?
...?
Alternanthera lilacina?
Pogostemon stellatus?
Rotala macrandra?
Some plants (last one mostly) are looking terrible though...I guess they are lacking NO3 cause I also spotted some BGA.
All those plants are just 2 weeks in my 40 liter tank with only sand/gravel substrate. KH 4...lights off pH 7.4...lights on pH 6.2

Hi all,
The second one looks like Eichornia diversifolia.

No. 1 looks remarkably similar to one of my favorite low-energy carpet plants C. willisii.

1/ most likly Crypt. X willisii
2/ most likely Eichonia diversifolia
3/ most likely some Alternanthera ( there are numerous types and vararities, looking very alike)
4/ could be a Pog. stellata of some type.......but just as well some Limnophila.
5/ looks like a Rotala macrandra of some type - a lot of variations on this plant has come along in recent years.
..........and you are right; plantnames given in Asia are doubtull (at best !!)
Hope this help a little, to point in direction of how to cultivate these *ss*
Mick.
