Hi Everyone! Here's something that was given by a friend and no one knows what this plant is. There are two different plants here: 1) Circular leaf weed plant? 2) Soft (almost)leafless branch plant, which oozes a white sap upon breaking it. Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Plant #1 looks similar to Tropaeolum majus (Nasturtium) check it out and see what you think. #2 is Euphorbia tirucalli (Indian Tree Spurge, Naked Lady, Pencil Plant)
Thanks for the replies. carolyn keiper I believe the pennywort is correct. However I am more interested in IDing the (almost) leafless soft branch plant. From, WhirOfWings
The Pencil Plant has a white sap that can cause skin irritation so be careful if you repot it. You can also break off sections and root them for more plants.
Thanks Toni, I believe the Pencil Plant is correct. By the way does this plant has any medical value? From, WhirOfWings
No, the milky sap is a form of latex and is deadly if ingested. If your skin is extremely sensitive the sap will cause burns. I had a large plant many years ago when I lived in south Florida. In the process of transplanting it one of the stems broke and spread the sap across my cheek, it caused some very painful blisters.
