Its fairly common but I dont have a clue as to its name. I know it is in the Tradenscantia family but which genus? Thanks.

Could the genus and species be Dichorisandra thyrsiflora, a variegated cultivar? http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1238

I'm pretty sure it's the variegated form of Callisia fragrans.
I have the same plant.

Nan, I think your right. I thought someone mentioned it was Callisia but I couldnt find any that looked familiar (most searches resulted in other species like C. repens.)
Thanks everyone!
