      Dunno, looks almost like some kind of bean seedlings.

        It certainly looks like lots of seeds sown into a pot. It has no label but the sign above them in the shop said 'House plants'
        .
        The leaves have no peteoles.

          Almost looks like most of the leaves a Cotyledons and there are just a few true leaves appearing.

          Thinking again if that is the case probably not a legume.

            Just a wild guess, but the true leaves look vaguely like coffee.

              Yes, after looking at them again I could see the dried up coat of a seed stuck to one.
              I've also seen new leaves appearing and they seem to have petioles.

                I had a coffee plant once many years ago and yes now you've mentioned it I agree.

                    Might be worth separating a few , I'm sure if they are coffee plants they would mature much better one plant to a pot.

                              I have previously bought a pot like this where there are about 20 coffee seedlings. I split them up and grew on, but found they needed higher temp and humidity than I could give them... But I'm currently trying again!
