It was sold to me as Pennywort. As you can see it is doing very good in my high light tank.

Nice plant, I've always had some. Very easy and hardy and like yours in good light the leaves take on an orange tint. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
