It look like glosso to me but like others have said, it's not in the best shape so it's hard to tell and it may be easier after it grows out a little.
Sincerely,
Tim

After reading these posts I now think the little guys that I already planted (i.e. the ones NOT on the paper towel) are in fact Glosso. I bought them from an online plant store, and they arrived such awful shape that I asked for a refund. I bought six pots and only got about 40 tiny plantable pieces out of it. Ugh.

After a close look, I see that the leaves on these little guys are paired, two on each side of each node. The plants are growing pretty well given the shape in which they arrived, but they are growing straight up. (Maybe I have to crank up the juice on my LEDs). I gather that I'm supposed to trim them to encourage horizontal growth, but I need the patient to recover a bit before I can do any surgery... :wink:
