1From the photo, it looks like a succulent, so I added that tag and updated the title. Please feel free to remove the tag if I was wrong. Thanks! – Niall C. Apr 25 '16 at 18:12

What does the bottom of the leaf look like? Is it greyish? – stormy Apr 26 '16 at 22:07

Does this plant have truly paired leaves? On the picture it almost looks like one leave of each pair is smaller than the other. Could it be a Peperomia sp.? Perhaps a Peperomia orba? – Klaus Alexander Seistrup Apr 30 '16 at 09:54

@KlausAlexanderSeistrup, I believe you're close. Consider Peperomia obtusifolia as an answer. – Brenn Jun 07 '16 at 16:28

@Brenn I believe you're right, it does indeed look like a P. obtusifolia. – Klaus Alexander Seistrup Jun 08 '16 at 16:48

@KlausAlexanderSeistrup Yup. You should post an official answer. :) – Brenn Jun 08 '16 at 16:52

This plant is a Peperomia, most likely a Peperomia obtusifolia.
Peperomia obtusifolia (baby rubberplant or pepper face) is a species of flowering plant in the family Piperaceae, native to Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean. It is an evergreen perennial growing to 25 cm (10 in) tall and broad, with cupped leathery leaves and narrow spikes of white flowers up to 12 cm (5 in) long.

I took the liberty since I too learned here recently, (I'm new here too), that the community appreciates a little more than just the name. And now we both know! ;) – Brenn Jun 09 '16 at 19:36

Yes, that's great. I admire what you do. I'll try to be more verbose. – Klaus Alexander Seistrup Jun 09 '16 at 19:37

I believe it is a Crassula Lactea, we have one that looks very similar to this! I'd post a photo with my answer but I just joined and can't figure out how to post a photo with my questions or answers
