Default Help identify red leafed plant?

Interesting that it's an irisine.

Yes it is indeed. I am grateful to those who told me this. I've had the plant
for several years and always wondered its name. It rarely flowers (I've never
seen it do so) but the leaves more than make up for this with their brilliant
colours). They come in green as well as red and also red and green bits
together on same plant!

BTW. It is listed as a medicinal herb for depression and prostate protection
but I
can't find out dosage for either.
