You have a TRUE viridis? Care to grace us with pics? The leaves especially? Not doubting you or anything, but just want so satisfy a selfish curiosity.
Oh, and nice k baby, btw. Looks good. I actually thought is was psychotria when I first saw it then I recognized it after a sec.

Can't tell exactly what you have there for sure, but I am leaning toward P. alba. Unless I am missing something, it looks like the leaf ends before the leaf stem meets the plant. Also, note the alternating veins in the alba vs opposite veins in viridis.
Check this pic out for comparison. Which do you think yours looks more like?

if you would study the viridis id pic that you posted you see the only some veins are actually side by side most of them are off set. and for the id take a look at the alba leaf notice how long the stem is form the leaf to the main stem. albas are really that long the leaf actually stops mid way up the leaf stem.
notice in my pics how the leaf is almost to the base. now not all leaves are them same some gow all the way to the my stem others stop just short. maybe I am wrong. and my first pic of the viridis you can see the rounded leaf just as the pic on the right of the id pic that you posted

I hear ya. After posting that, I kept researching and found that the opposite vs alternating veins is not always a defining trait.

Just to make sure I am understanding you correctly. You are saying that alba leafs stop farther up than is pictured in the 'ID' picture? I would agree with you there, to an extent. Maybe the 'alba' pictured follows the stem a bit farther down that the average alba. But the pic shows a difference between the two to help show what to look for anyway.
IDK, you might be right man. I honestly wasn't trying to ruffle your feathers or anything. I really can't tell from your pic enough to say or not. Sometimes I look at the pic and it looks like the leaf follows stem all the way, sometimes it seems like it ends earlier than a viridis. 
The reason I posted the 'ID' pic was just because I couldn't tell or not and wanted to see what you thought it was... Didn't know if you had been made aware of the fact that most 'viridis' sold is actually 'alba'.
Either way, like I said, not trying to ruffle your feathers, I was just curious.
If it is indeed a viridis, I might wanna PM ya and see about somethin...
