I can't find it. Did someone ask for ID for a vine like this

[applestar]

I noticed my nemesis Japanese honey suckle that is trying to take over the back fence area had grown some odd-looking leaves. I thought someone had posted a photo of vine with leaves like these and asked for ID, but I can't find it now.

Those leaves are attached to the rest of the honeysuckle vine with normal shield shaped honeysuckle leaves

Those are the ONLY ones. The rest of a sizable heap all have regular leaves... And flowers.

I have no idea what causes it, but many of our horrific Japanese Honeysuckles sometimes form leaves like that as well, & on the same stems as the normal leaves. It's still Japanese Honeysuckle, just something mutant - lol!

It is Lonicera, possible wild grow one.
In some states it is a invasive species.

The leaves don't look exactly like that. Were you thinking of this?:

Thanks @allyn -- I kept going to that one and looking but no, I thought I'd seen another one.

@Mr_bobo_ yes, Lonicera. Do you remember answering a query like this with another photo -- the way I remember it, almost all of the leaves were cut/lobed leaf like the oddities I saw on mine.

... haha maybe I'm just imagining I that someone had posted such a photo. ...

@GardeningCook, thanks for confirming that they do spontaneously and seemingly randomly change shape like this. So strange!

I have no idea what causes it, but I recently spent a weekend yanking tons of this stuff out, & quite a bit of it had both leaf types/shapes on the exact same vines.

Looks like Lonicera japonica:

Yes, that is what it is, but with two distinctly different leaf types appearing on the same vines.

Haha I like how people keep IDing this for you applestar!

My neighbors overwhelming garden of honeysuckle randomly grows like this as well. I've noticed these leaves as I attempt to continually battle it from climbing my fence! I almost took a photo for ID at one point before I realized it was coming from the same plants I'd already had IDed as Lonicera Japonica. Such a nightmare!

Mutant honeysuckle Triffids that are hoping to take over the world - lol!!
