I can't be sure, but it looks like a hibiscus tree, a variation of the hibiscus plant. I have one with the dark green foliage next to the bushy plant one. Does it get large bright orange/red flowers?

If it is the same as mine, they do require frequent waterings and once a month I take a pinch of non-iodized sea salt and devolve it in warm water and water the plants.

They are native to tropical islands and do require a bit of sea salt once in awhile. It really helps with constant bloom.

Mine is in a west facing window and blooms non-stop all year round.

Looks like a chinese tree peony, although i could be wrong. always new plants await discovery.

I think it isn't any kind of hibiscus as it has never flowered. The guy whom I bought it from said it is an ornamental plant. Even he didn't know its name. I have kept it in full sun and the plant seems to like it. It hasn't shown any signs of flowering till now so I think it isn't a tree peony either. I will post some closeups of the leaves and hopefully that should help in identifying the plant.

Flowering will do the job, or someone that's familiar at all to the plant.

Good luck
