    My Grandmother gave me a bunch of potted plants before going away on vacation and this one was stuck in with them. It seems to stem much, but it all originated from one stem coming out of the dirt (it actually seems to stem from almost anywhere, including previously cut branches). The leaves have some thickness to them and have a scalloped edge (much like kalanchoe). They are also arranged along the stem in a decussate pattern (2 leaves formed at the same time opposite of each other, the next pair are at 90 degrees to the first pair). Currently it is only about 12 inches tall and the largest leaf is only 1 inch from stem to tip.
    As always, any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks, Dave

    Looks like Kalanchoe to me.

    hmm, I wonder what kind. I already have 2 different types of Kalachoe and this one doesn't look like either of them.
