    If anyone can identify this (and/or has some care instructions) I would really appreciate it! mystery plant.jpg The leaves are disc shaped and are attached to the leafstalk on the back of the leaf (not at the edge). They are sensitive to touch (the leaves resting on the edge of the planter turn brown at the point where they touch) The leaves 'erupt' from the top of a single woody stem which apparently develops from the cuticles of each leaf as it 'erupts'. I've never seen anything like this plant before and can find it in no book at the Library. If you can help, please do!
