Identification

Hello! I recently found a plant growing in the same pot as my 4 month old maple tree. I was so curious by it that I took it out and put it in its own pot. The only problem is that I don't know what it is and I can't seem to find a way to attatch an image of it here. The best I can describe of it is that the leaves look similar to an African Violet but not as dark or round. The leaves are longer and oval in shape.

Unfortunately that description is just too vague to be able to figure out what the plant is. I think your best approach would be to take a sample to a local greenhouse/garden center. They should be able to identify it for you.
