    Just got this confused little plant. The leaves grow into 2 or 3 elongated lobes. The central lobe (if 3 lobes) or the longest lobe (if that leaf only has 2 lobes) usually has some degree of indented margin (but several are entirely smooth). The 2 newest leaves are simply elongated and smooth. Leaves are opposite. There are no teeth, thorns, or spines. Obviously, a very confused plant. Any ideas on what species it is?

    Hummm, no latex that I've seen yet. The seller said maybe perhaps could be a senecio, as in maybe perhaps she was guessing! Thanks for taking a stab at it any way!

    Kalanchoe kewensis

    Come on Jerry, you already have plants far weirder than this one.

    How about those Pseudolithos?
