Do you mean the "Purple Passion Plant", aka Gynura sp? These plants
have bright yellow dandelion-like flowers - very gaudy with the purple
and green. I think the genus is Gynura, which my very weak Greek
translates as "woman tail" (!!??).
Baby's tears (Helxine sp ?) is a high humidity tiny leaved ground cover
that is often recommended for plant terrariums. I don't know how well
it stands up to gecko or frog foot traffic. It does get a bit stringy
in low light, but should do ok in moderate to strong 'rainforest' type
lighting.
