Does anybody knows the name?....

20 years ago

I would like to get the name of this plant that we had when I was a kid, back home in S. America. The leaf is round, about 4" in diameter, dark green, thick, smooth, shinny on about 10" stems coming straight from the ground and have perfect yellow dots on it, about 7 or 8 of them. This is the best description I can give, do not have a picture (I wish I had). I would like to buy one, always loved it.

They used to call it, in Spanish "pecosa" translation:freckled. I would be very thankful, since I've been looking for it for years. Thank you!
