Anybody got any ideas what the other seedlings are too? The longest leaf is only about 5 inches long and a couple of the seedlings have a second leaf. Longest leaf is about 4 inches long at present. The seeds were about the size of a 'petit poi' pea and were reddish brown and shiny. These seeds also came from Madeira.

The classification of plants is based on whether they can have sex which each other - in other words, largely on their floral parts. It really is difficult to identify things from leaves only, unless the leaves are very characteristic. I think you're going to have to wait until these get a little larger.
