This plant was given to me from my grandmother's house after she died. No one in the family seems to know what it is. HELP!!!

Thanks-

It looks like a pepperomia. Did I spell that correctly?? They are houseplants here. I had one many years ago. There are several varieties. Can't remember which one it is.

Hi Kelley,

I believe you have what is commonly called an aluminum plant (pilea cadierei). Check out this link to PlantFiles. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/54482/index.html

My first thought was Peperomia too, but when I looked at the pictures in Plant Files the leaves aren't right. Definitely could be the Pilea though, that does look a lot like it.

Oh my goodness!!! It is an "aluminum plant". How neat!!! Thank you so much. And yes, out of anything that I could have gotten from my grandma's house, I am glad I got this wonderful plant...
