Bought these plants from someone a little while ago. PictureThis can’t determine what they are. Creating a spreadsheet with common and scientific names. Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

#1 confuses me a little, but definitely a Senecio. At first I thought it was a String of whatever type of Senecio, but looking at the stem on your plant it doesn’t look right to be a String type Senecio. I think it’s a Senecio kleiniiformis that has been grown in the shade or dappled light. S. kleiniiformis when grown in strong light is more bush like, but in lower light it stretches out.

#2 I see fuzz on the plant, Echeveria setosa var. deminuta

I do not know what the second plant is, but it looks similar to a Pachyveria. Pachyveria is a hybrid succulent cross between Pachyphytum and Echeveria. It says online that these grow best in soil full of phosphorus and potassium, but low in nitrogen. Not sure how to fertilize it

Pachyveria have many nice color variants.

Thanks for your comments. You might be correct - i'm not too familiar with Pachyveria. I was thinking its probably Echeveria Minima

I got a plausible answer in "name that plant": Appears to be Ternstroemia gymnanthera, used to be Cleyera japonica. It's common name is Cleyera

I can't tell from your photos, but the most common kind of bedding Impatiens (I. walleriana) is effected by a fungal disease, downy mildew, in the US, and it has at least been present in the UK according to this article. You may find other articles about downy mildew that tell you more about how much of a problem it currently might be for you, but it isn't recommended here in many parts of the US last I checked. Happily, New Guinea impatiens, Impatiens × hawkeri, isn't bothered by it. It has similar flowers and is more sun tolerant.

@AL 9b San Jose CA Echeveria minima is always a hen and chicks plant, which yours is not. Minima also has a distinct red marking at the tip of its leaves. I have seen versions that are huge as well as versions that are dwarf.

@Kara 9b SF Bay Area CA you’re absolutely correct.. #1 is definitely S. Kleiniiformis "Spear Head". I looked at the plant again. Naturally it’s supposed to grow upright but it’s been growing in shade which has made it grow in a hanging form. Thanks for naming this plant!

@Kara 9b SF Bay Area CA I think you nailed #2 as well. I looked at some pictures on the net and it's definitely Echeveria setosa var. deminuta. Thanks again for naming this plant!

The looks a bit like Celtis. But can't make out the veining very well. Leaf shape and teeth are similar to Celtis, but which species? Not confident, but what else could it be?😬

Marijuana family Cannabaceae, urticalean 🤐

Here’s are close up pics of the leaf and stems towards the bottom of the tree. The leaves fall in winter. I’ve had it for a couple of years. It’s about 7ft tall.

Could it be an apricot tree? Possibly Ume?
