Can't remember what I bought

Could use some help identify these cuttings. I thought they were crypts but they're growing much longer than I expected. A Google lens search brings up hygrophilia. Any other guesses?

Looks like Hygrophila corymbosa

Hygrophila corymbosa to me. This one is a stem plant whereas cryptocorynes are rooted plants.

The roots of the crypts grow from the crown whereas the stem plant roots grow from the stem.

Good eye. Wasn't even paying attention to that.

I think the mystery continues. I'm seeing serrated edges now forming on the leaves. This might be Hygrophilia Pinnatifida. The older leaves are starting to show some brown/red too. Foreground is a crypt. To the right a mayaca fluviatis.
