Thoughts on id? It started to lean then sprouted the new growth point which is primary now.  It had what appeared to be the second small seedling near the base when I bought it, which has been slower than the new growth point.

I can believe it is a borhidiana hybrid. The leaves have a borhidiana "look" but the petioles are too long for pure borhidiana. But hybridized with what I have no idea. Unique growth habit.

I agree, leaves look like borhidiana and lacks the fibers of pure borhidiana.  Trunk detail looks more like miraguama or even scoparia.  It does resemble Scott's hybrid below in post #7 somewhat.

 

The trunk which emerged near the base of the original plant has been much slower growing and shows much shorter petioles.  I was told when I got it that they were probably two different plants in the same pot as opposed to a basal offshoot.  Meanwhile the taller trunk is an offshoot from the trunk base of the original larger trunk.  Remnants of the original taller trunk can still be seen in the one photo although it has no green leaves remaining after the last leaf that tried to push never opened then turned brown.

It will be a nice double as it grows in with time.  Maybe it will turn out to be hybrid vs pure?  Would make a great comparison example.   
 

I got this inexpensive “borhidiana” in early summer.  It pretty much doubled in size during the warm months, and is pretty leggy for baking in full sun.  Seems to be a hybrid.  But I like it just fine either way.   

The late afternoon sun really brings out the contrast in color between the adaxial (tops)  and abaxial (bottoms) sides of the leaves.  Whatever the hybrid is, it has proven to be a nice addition to the garden.
