    been trekking through the forest alot these days and came up across several plants, though not much success in identifying them.

    1. ?
    2. Ajuga reptans ?
    3. Viola canina ?
    4. Helleborus viridis ?
    5. Glechoma hederacea ?
    6. ? (this one's a bit blurry, sorry for that)
    7. & 8. ?

    Do I need to say I'll appreciate any help?;)

    #1 really reminds me of Vaccinium, but the leaves and flower habit aren't quite right....

    #1 is Common Ivy Hedera helix.

    #3 yep, a species of Viola, not easy to tell which species though (several similar species).

    #4 is Green Hellebore Helleborus viridis.

    #6 yep, a Cardamine, likely Hairy Bittercress Cardamine hirsuta.

    #7 is Greater Stitchwort Stellaria holostea (yep, Caryophyllaceae as mentioned above).

    #8 is a spurge Euphorbia, perhaps Wood Spurge Euphorbia amygdaloides.

    wow, you guys have been quite helpful! thanx for both IDs and confirmations.

    these and plants in the previous few topics are all I managed to find during my woodland treks (february/march) so I believe I won't be annoying you this frequently from now on;)

    thanks to all of you, you're a lot of help!!!

    Michael's opinion is mostly correct again. I'd like to add, however, that the spurge is certainly not Euphorbia amygdaloides this time. I rather think that this spuge could be Euphorbia verrucosa, Euphorbia epithymoides or some lookalike. Glechoma hederacea is certainly correct, but ssp. hirsuta is a strong possibility even though I am not sure whether the form of the calyx teeth is correct for this subspecies which is considered a separate species by some botanists.
