You can see single, claw & trident in this one.
When I got this plant from a grocery store, the leaves were long, some single, some with 1 or 2 “fingers” looking like a lobster claw or a trident. As it began to put out new leaves they came in broader with serrated edges. They remind me of thick Swedish ivy leaves but not as rounded. Leaves are opposite, alternating. I’m thinking some kind of Senecio, but nothing I’ve seen is quite the same.

Those are not the leaves of the plant, they’re a whole new plant!
The original one (slender leaves) is definitely a type of Senecio, but the rounder ones are from a Kalanchoe, probably K dagremontiana, or Mother of Thousands, and they would have ‘jumped’ into the pot along with the other plant at the nursery where they were grown.
Hope you like Kalanchoe!
