Indoor plant, grows taller a few feet. Lots of small black seeds everywhere when seeding. Leaf portion of truck grows fat and has little red hairs on it. That portion grows to look like a cucumber. Here's a pick of a young one, any help? Ideas?

your pic.

I would guess it's a type of Ficus. There is a name that plant forum which is much more active, if you'd like to try asking there.

I think that it is some kind of Croton. Check link.

Since you've observed the seeds, how about describing the flowers? Is this plant growing (and flowering) under typical indoor conditions or something special?

I also suggest that you visit the Name That Plant Forum. I've attached a direct link below.
