    Sal,

    Does it have some sort of caudex?
    If so, I would say a Siningia or osmething related?

    Sal, it does looks a little like Hemigraphis Alternata.

    John (you're a hero:biggrin: ), P Crispa is what I have always known and grown as Laciniata. I haven't come across Shiso Britton before.
    The red (purple) and green one I have is more Coleus like.
