Hi Mark and welcome to Project Noah! It looks like you have leaves from two different plants here. Each leaf should be in a different spotting since they are not from the same plant. In the text sections, it is very helpful to add descriptions of the organism (these can provide clues for identification) and habitat where it was found.

If possible, try to get pictures of not only the leaves, but the whole plant. Close-up shots of flowers, leaves and stems, as well as an image with the entire plant often contain essential clues to plant identity (some plants have very similar looking flowers or leaves so all parts can be very important to being able to distinguish one plant from another).

Since you are new here, please take a few minutes to read through the FAQ page. http://www.projectnoah.org/faq

With that said, the first image looks like Spotted Wintergreen, Chimaphila maculata. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimaphila...

I am not sure about the other one.
