    On another forum I have had Monopyla macrocarpa as a suggestion.


    I have found a new term...
    anisophyllous. ..... having leaves of two or more shapes and sizes
    That is what this plant has!

    Images of leaves of Monopyle macrocarpa found on www show leaf bases that match...like the leaf of an Elm...Ulmus .

    Monopyle macrocarpa leaves - Google Search:

    Monopyle macrocarpa Benth. - Encyclopedia of Life

    File:Monopyle macrocarpa (Gesneriaceae) (29512974603).jpg - Wikimedia Commons

    The last final proof...a glossy red berry I cannot seem to find on www in words or pics.

    I will label my pics as Monopyle macrocarpa for the time being...unless anyone here can help me.
