     It does, and I thought that too, until I realized that none of the leaves are growing in groups - all just single, alternating! In comparison, my money tree grows petioles that sprout 4 or 5 leaves together!

   it appears to be ardisia humilis, or red ardisia. never heard of a shoebutton but that might be another common name for this plant

     Yep! Seems like they’re the same thing.

   FYI since I learned what it was, I’ve been able to improve its care and it has new growth now for the first time since I’ve been caring for it!
