    Just got a cutting from my mom and she never remembers the name. The leaves kind of remind me of an African violet, but thicker. No flower on this one but the leaves itself form a sort of rosette with very symetrical opposite leaves. Very green with a peach fuzz feel. Leaves are round and scalloped, with a showy vein on the bottom. I'd like to know what it is so I can get it to grow, it's an attractive plant. I unfortunately only have Internet on my phone right now so no pics unfortunately. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

    Don't think so, can't find any that looks like this.

    Here's a pic, just remembered photobucket.

    It reminds me of my kalanchoe also.

    The plant is cuban oregano/plectranthus, it is a herb and the leaves have a spicy smell, quite refreshing.Easy to grow, probably best in a pot, the cuttings will grow roots in water.It doesnt mind being in the shade..altogether a great hanging pot plant.
    I have a variegated one...easy peasy to look after.
