    Hi everyone,

    I bought this out of Wilkinsons houseplant section, reduced to a pound. It's a gorgeous little thing about one and a half inches high with silver leaves about 5mm across.
    I feel as though I should know it but can't for the life of me remember.

    Any help gratefully received, ta :)

        Thanks @Victoria and @mazambo . I did think that at first but I've only ever come across Peperomia with thick waxy ( almost succulent ) leaves. I'll have to investigate :)

        Has anyone got Helxine ? I think that's what it is.

        PS.... Who marked it as solved as it's definitely not peperomia.

          Ah, ha, I thought of that one too, but my mind has to go back to pre-2001 when I lived in the UK and had such houseplants. Don't have any here as houseplants grow outside but different species. Pleased you solved it.
