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.

Among bryophytes, Aneura obviously. Who wouldn't want non-chlorophyllian mosses? Dung mosses are amazing as well and just like angiosperms they are propagated by insects so sporophytes are often quite elaborate! Among flowering plants, probably saxifrages, weird plants, lots of diversity, nice.
