Cute little houseplant!

[Dahlia]

A friend of mine just gave me this cute little houseplant! I love it, but I don't know what it is? Any ideas?

Reminds me of Miners Lettuce. But that grows wild.

I think it should be a kind of pennywort?

i'm trying to find that leaf vein pattern in any pictures and don't see it. so perhaps a more tropical plant that looks like a pennywort? or perhaps there is a variety that is different than the rest? i dunno. plant id has always been my weak point unless i've grown it.

Yes, some look quite similar. In Chinese, their names are all related to coins.

Another possibility should be Pilea peperomioides , the Chinese money plant,[2] ufo plant, pancake plant or missionary plant, also commonly taken as indoor plants.

I agree with Money Plant. DW & I have been trying (so far unsuccessfully) to talk the owner of the Oriental grocery where we shop into parting with one of theirs. She is a long-time friend, and will probably save a baby for us eventually.

Yep, thats it. Money plant.
