Unknown, small, stoloniferous

Any guesses? Nothing I've heard or found yet quite matches. Terrible pictures, sorry, can't get the camera/computer connection working lately (probably just need a new cable)

This plant is in a 4" pot; never grows over a few (4-5") tall, sagittate leaf blades and petioles about equal length. Leaves are marbled in a random 'camouflage' type pattern in light whitish-green.

It only grows on thin running stolons, producing small clusters of crowns with only a few leaves each. No visible stems. It's a beautiful little charmer when not allowed to be overgrown with other neglected plants like this was recently.

It was growing in a terrarium under fairly low fluorescent light, in plain chopped moss. A slow grower under those conditions, but there were many stolons about 6-12" long under the surface with smaller plants at the ends.

OK I got the cable working, here are some pics that may be more useful. I think those 'stolons' are technically rhizomes since they have all those joints with dormant buds and modified leaf scales. But they act like stolons mostly.

Looks like an Aglaonema.
