    A coworker asked me if I know what kind of tree this leaf came from, and I don't. Can anyone help? It was growing on a smallish tree in a schoolyard in Ottawa, Ontario. The leaf is about 18 cm across at its widest point.
    Thanks.

    Maybe a climber growing on the tree. Hops, perhaps?

    Looks like a vine, Vitis sp.

    I, too saw the possible resemblance to Vitaceae. Ampelopsis?
