    I just recently bought this great little house plant at a local shop, but the girl who rang me up didn't know what kind it was. The leaves at the bottom are heart shaped with the stem coming out the back (not from the side)--but the topmost couple of leaves are starting to cleft. I think that it might just be a very young plant, and that's why the leaves are so strange--but I can't identify it.

    The color in the pic isn't quite righ because of the flash--the leaves are a darker, more of a hunter green.

    Thank you!

    Thank you! That's exactly it!

    It looks like the leaves will continue to keep their neat shape--they're rather unique looking.
