Spotted these two yesterday
The first was growing just above the tidal levels but would get a lot of wave wash during stormy times 
The second was growing on the dried shore of a quarry lake. This area would be underwater in the winter. The quarry is less than 100 meters from the sea. Wave wash is a possibility especially in the winter. 
Thanks in advance

I think the first is Sea Arrow-grass (Triglochin palustre) and the second Brookweed (Samolus valerandi) |

I agree with Stark about them except that the name I have for the Sea Arrow-grass is Triglochin maritma the second I cannot find in the books

Sorry guys - I only knew the common name, so googled for the latin one. Unfortunately the web site I picked had it wrong. Typical.
The correct latin name is indeed Triglochin maritimum | | |
