In other searches I've found what appears to be this plant listed as Tradescantia tomentosa, but that doesn't get many google hits either. Tradescantia sillamontana gets lots of hits, but most of them don't look like this plant.
So I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it is cute.
PS: Thanks to Dee, for helping out again with identification! Her information lead me to find out more about Tradescatia and Cyanotis (or ...tus), such as this page. So I have a Cyanotus somaliensis - and it has very cute flowers; I will look forward to seeing them one day.

cute and hairy--did you get it from a shop? Hmmm, word verification is alean . . .
Try having a look at a very closely related plant called Cyanotus somaliensis.
I have noticed that most places seem to spell it Cyanotis, so you will find it more readily with that spelling. It is sometimes called Tradescantia somaliensis as well.
Wow, Dee, that is fantastic! Thank you for helping me out again with identification.
TT - it was given to me, but it came from a wholesale nursery.
I bought one yesterday. I can just be sure this what I have. Love it .I have named it Mildred.
