I came across an escape evergreen climber this afternoon.

Plant growing to 3 m or more, foliage alternate, shortly petiolate,
blades ovate-lanceolate (broadest near the base, 5-7 cm long, 1.5-2 cm
wide), shallowly cordate, acuminate.

I think that it may be a Lonicera. Does it ring any bells with anyone.

According to the RHS Dictionary of Gardening, Lonicera leaves are
opposite, not alternate.

Sorry. Thinko on my part. I meant to write "opposite".

Could it possibly be a Passiflora, which for some reason has yet to
develop its typically lobed leaves?
