Not Snowbush. That is my opinion for now. I ordered this and it was supposed to be a Snowbush, or Breynia disticha. I will post some pictures of the plant and some others to help in its identification.

Next, here is a picture of this UI plant next to the other plant I got within the same order. This other plant (at right) I do believe is the Breynia disticha. You can see from the picture that the plants are NOT the same. Both were the same size when they arrived a few months ago.

Next their leaves are somewhat close in appearance, but clearly this UI plant has more elongate leaves and less color variety. If you look closely most of the leaves are Breynia disticha, but if you look to the left and lower portions of the images you can observer this UI plant. This UI plant also has mostly green leaves and some variegated. None of the leaves are white or pink, like on the Snowbush.

Maybe in these two images you can also see more of the distinct leaves of these plants. The image below shows both plants with the UI plant at left. You can see in the image of the trunk and bark, they are not alike at all.

So, that is all for now. If I should upload more images or provide more information please leave a comment. Also, if you think youknow what it is please leave a comment with your belief. I would love to get an identification on this plant.

For Reference: Breynia disticha Page
