Can anyone help? I bought a plant at local market a while ago , since then something else has appeared too. I have split them and wondered if anyone knew the mystery stalk?

I thought it was like a ribes leaf but is thicker and doesnt smell the same which made me think could it be a weed.

 

Thank you

    I took the liberty of enlarging the image. A bit less sharp than the original, but...........

    Still not sure what it is, looks like a Currant of some description.

    Looks like a sycamore sapling

    Don't know what it is, but don't think it's a sycamore, I get lots of self set ones and they always have dead straight stems & if unnoticed I need the grafter to dig them out.
