kinda reminds me of a nastyurchin..

That was my first thought, but the leaves seem too glossy for that.

take a peek at a thread entitled "ID Needed", posted back on aug 23, by mayhr,
it sure looks to me like it might the same variety as in your pic. (?)

[DandyLioness]

Ohhh - you mean the dollar plant???

[HarleyGal]

Some type of pepperomia?! :unsure:

[MrSeedy]

It looks a bit like the "watermellon" pepperomia to me , but at the same time it looks like all the undersides of the leaves are towards me, and the top sides are pointed away, so I can't see the surface of the leaves. The watermellon pepperomia deffinitely has the pattern )sort of , of the striped watermellons on the top surface of the leaves and I don't see that??

[toxinsmile]

that is what i thought too seedy.... it looks just like my watermelon, without the markings....but how would I know anyways, you guys are always telling me what plants I have :P

[toxinsmile]

well... lets compare

[toxinsmile]

naw...I don't think that is in relation... the leaves are rounder and the stems are different. sorry i'm no help

[PRH]

I'd have to go with a watermellon pepperomia of some type to - the surface of the leaves has me blind though ( can't really see them like I would want to )!
MrSeedy, looks like we were on the same track huh?
Good Luck Rich, hope somebody helped ya!
Phil :-) ;)

[MrSeedy]

I must say that growing conditions and especially light conditions, where plants are grown can make for some big differences in coloring in leaves and even to some degree in leaf shape and soil nutrients as well affect that, and I'd stick to my earlier ID, even though the coloring is different , and the leaf shape to some degree!! Could be an entirely different species of pepperomia as well!!

[Larry the Lamb]

I actually think its a kind of Begonia!

in the thread by mayhr that i referenced above :rolleyes:
foresterlang suggested that the plant in question might be begonia hydrocotylifolia (pennywort begonia)

and gonzer thought it also looked like montia perfoliata (miner's lettuce)
