Need A Name

[Palmlin]

Greetings, Gardening Fans,

A friend gave me this little lady, but does not know the name so I turn to you. Thanks loads.

I think it is Plectranthus verticillatus If I`m right, it`s good in a hanging basket - it trails.

Hi, Tetters, and thank you so very much. That's exactly what it is and thankfully it goes by the name, Swedish Ivy because the scientific name is a mouth full. Again, many thanks.

I know the Latin names can be a bit of a mouthful to start with, but believe me - they can also be very helpful. There is much more confusion when trying to identify a plant if we go by the names that people make up.
