Yes, Koley-ji is quit right that the leaves in 1176-B are from the nearbye plant, and maybe confusing. I am attaching another image which shows the stem and leaves of the same plant. It has simple crenate edge leaves with a cordate base and acuminate qpex. blade about 25mm and petiole 15mm.
Thanks for all the replies. So most likely it is a garden cultivar.
