This could be Pouzolzia sp (Urticaceae).
Looks like Pouzolzia hirta to me Probably Pilea glaberrima Pilea glaberrima is a different plant, I guess. The leaves are opposite in Pilea and serration is different.
Thanks to the useful publication on Old World Pouzolzia, perhaps the specimens can be sorted out more precisely.
The above plant has clearly toothed leaves, lower surface is clearly visible, with distinct petiole, upper veins clearly visible, leaves more or less lanceolate.
All above features place it under Pouzolzia sanguinea var. sanguinea
