    It seems happy on a shady window sill. I thought it was a philodendron when I bought it but it doesn't seem to want to trail

    Google suggests -

    The plant in the image is a Peperomia obtusifolia, also known as a Baby Rubber Plant

    No idea if that's correct..

    Thanks @Pete8 . Will check it out. Assume it's not a pizza topping.

      Has a look @Pete8 . The leaves look a bit too round but I think you're on the right lines with peperomia.
      Apparently, there's about a thousand varieties!

          Hmm. Curious but not that curious. It seems content so I'll let it keep its anonymity. @Pete8
