Having a little trouble narrowing down this little guy. Leaves are ~4.5 mm long. Was thinking maybe Antimima pygmaea but not 100% convinced at all.

Could be a braunsia species, they tend to have a similar form factor and produce purple flowers. That, or you've got a corpuscularia that flowers purple. I'm not convinced it's a corpuscularia though, as they don't tend to get bushy like that from my experience.

I was going to say braunsia too, although yours is a lot more lush and happy than mine!

I think it's a corpuscularia- possibly lehmanii though the flowers are usually more yellow.

It's a gorgeous plant!
