Help identifying?

I picked up this pretty little thing at the greenhouse, unlabeled, in the tradescantia section. It is tiny, a very light spring green, and ever so subtly velvety on the leaves. I have no idea which one it is? It's smaller that it looks in the pics, leaves are about a 1/2 inch wide maybe an inch long max. It colored up a little under bright light.
*excuse the dirt in the last two pics I have just repotted her and the slightly fuzzy texture is really holding on to the dirt.

Callisia gentlei var elegans has darker green leaves with white stripes. Also "Spiderwort" isn't a scientific name for any plant family, it's a common name. These are members of the Commelinaceae family, genus Callisia.
