Psychotria viridis seedling ID needed......

I had planted 5 Psychotria viridis seeds a few months ago and I just now have a sprout. I'm wondering if it's actually a weed or if it's Psychotria viridis. I did all that was needed before planting like putting in bleach and water and everything. I dug around and found one of the seeds had grown a tap root. So I replanted it carefully so I know they are viable.
Heres a pic of the first sprout I'm hoping is chacruna. Any people that know what they look line would be appreciated. I have larger chacruna plants but I'd like to know what the seedlings may look like.

Too soon to tell.

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

Looks about right but too early to give a positive ID. The true leaves should have a distinct point and a spearhead-style apical meristem and it should grow fairly slowly. It will look almost identical to a typical coffee plant. Here's a picture of some Psychotria viridis from a leaf cutting I took for reference.

It seems like you're on your way to having some nice Psychotrias.

It's not growing like a weed at all and it's really slow and it even started to look sick before I put it in a plastic bag for humidity. Now it's alright. All the signs are telling me it is chacruna. Of course the leaves arn't as fat because it's barely a week old but compared to the youngest seedlings I've seen pics of it does look similar.
Also when transplanting it to a new cell pot I noticed it has a nice root system beginning.
Here's a new pic. Thanks guys for the input.
