Well, I've racked my brain on this one and I can't tell you what it is either!
It certainly has a very distinctive shape, and should stand out right away to someone who knows it.
I did look at possibly a variety of the Ipomoea genus, but not sure on that. Some of the leaves on a couple of them look very similar. Maybe try looking up the genus Ipomoea and seeing if any of their leaves are the same.
Like Scott, I'm sure I've seen this one before, and am just drawing ablank!
I'll get back to you if it pops into to my head ..........

The annoying familiarity that I had put off was with pipevine (Aristolochia). I had my friend Tim(one of the best nurserymen I know) look at it, and while it stumped him, he said the same dang thing! So we THINK it might be a strange leaved sport of Aristolochia durior, an old favorite from Victorian days when they grew it on their porches for more shade. It's a native, so it could well just show up. But I am also haunted by the similarity to potato (Solanum). So I hate to call it anything yet. Let it flower and we'll have one more thing to go on!
A stumper for sure; I'll keep looking...

She's got it Grey, take a look at the picture I've attached - it's the one!
I just knew it was in the Ipomoea genus, but I could find the specific one!
Glad we finally solved that puzzle!!! Thanks so much NGT for letting us know you found it, otherwise we might still be wandering around out here in never never land!!!

Enjoy, and hopefully it flowers soon!
