I just found out that mine is Coleus. Genus of Cuban oregano and a ton of other cool plants like the Hausa potato and Livingstone potato. Apart of the family Lamiaceae, which is the same family as mint and deadnettles.

Madia. I absolutely love the two species I know. They inconspicuous unless you find them at the right time of day. Inconspicuous that is except for the smell. Their pineapple funk draws me straight to them. Also, M. elegans makes delicious seeds.
