I'm not sure, but I think this is Dorestenia foetida. Anyway, it's some kind of Dorstenia. It's still a small plant.

And sucks your brain out!

Re: dorstenia
 

Jeff, you're right. My photo is not D. foetida. I actually looked at the label this time, and says D. gypsophila. Nice plant you have, by the way.

Re: dorstenia
 

you are sure from your dorstenia for me gypsophila have more a long caudex like gigas , I think rather to a hybrid or a foetida form but not the type.

I have others like this one
a african species
