Hi Rebecca,
The plant is a ZZ Plant, Zamioculcas zamiifolia, here’s a brighter picture.
Zamioculcas
ZZ Plants, are beautiful, unique, almost impossible to kill succulent houseplants that burst onto the market a few years ago. They have become an immediate hit. ZZ houseplants have long stems covered in hundreds of round, plump, shiny green leaves (or leaflets as they are called). They are very drought resistant houseplants thanks to their rhizomatous roots that store water. ZZ Plants may be one of the hardiest and most forgiving houseplants I can recommend, just be careful not to over water.
