Some water plants (1 Viewer)

All of these were found in a ditch in West Sussex. Are the first four all Callitriche, but perhaps different species? Number 4 is the same as 2 from my previous thread and it is definitely a water plant. Number 5 looks like it has distinctive leaves, is it a Veronica? Thanks in advance for your help!

None of these are Callitriche, don't think any are water plants either.

1 I think is Caryophyllaceae, not sure exactly what.
2 looks like a willowherb.
3 & 4 I'm sticking with Galium.
5 is possibly Chrysosplenium oppositifolium, not certain though.
 
I thought the same for (5).
(1-3 definitely not Callitriche indeed and you could well be right on the Galium. I try to ignore non-flowering plants I cannot recognise!)

Thank you both for looking at my plants and sharing your expertise with me. The plants are doing well in their pots and I hope to see them flowering eventually. I shall post pictures if that happens. Thanks again!
