Finally Found It
 

In case anyone cares. You will recall I was trying to remember the name of a
houseplant which is one of the OSX screen images. It is a hybrid, Pilea 'Moon
Valley.' The Russians have a similar cultivar called 'Norfolk.'

Are you sure I'm an entity? I thought I might be a figment of my husband's

Yes. I finally remembered it was a Pilea, & a little searching refreshed my
memory. I haven't seen one in years.

Sorry Iris but its not a hybrid. Its an unnamed species that was given a
cultivar name in the trade. Now you must track down its proper name if it
has one.

OK, so it's Pilea sp. 'Moon Valley.' Since I don't have anything but a
photograph to go by, how would I begin to identify it? Who is the registration
authority for the genus Pilea or the Urticaceae?
