Plant Identifier

[PN]

Hi @EricL and @MitchellMc 

Please need some help with identifying what these two plants are. The first one is a ground cover growing on one side of the garden and the second one is a small plant that is growing from the base on of a larger plant. 

Many Thanks

Hi Partha (@PN),

The first one is a type of Viola. If it gets tiny little purple and white flowers, it is a native Viola. The second I believe, is a Sweet Pittosporum undulatum. It's considered a relatively invasive weedy type plant in gardens. They often pop up around the place as their fruit and seeds are carried around by native wildlife. Unless you want it there, I'd suggest removing it.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
