    Greetings, This little thing recently appeared in a very shady area of my property (Southbridge, MA). No flowers, maybe in the spring. Any assist in identifying will be greatly appreciated. --Carl

    Answer

    Dear Carl, I don't know for certain, but it looks like you may have found a tiny plant of Euonymus fortunei (climbing spindle-tree). This plant frequently has light colored veins (as shown in your image). Further, the leaf arrangement and margin are a good match for this taxon. Best wishes.
