I also initially got confused because of red colour of leaves, but it is clearly Ricinus. Jatropha gossypiifolia has 3-5 lobes leaves with lobes suddenly narrowed at tip. Besides leaf base is cordate with no trace of peltate condition. In Ricinus communis as seen here leaves are 7-11-lobed, slightly peltate towards base, and lobes are gradually narrowed towards tip.
