Can anyone ID this Trop. plant
Hello,
My Fiancee's mother brought this one over, in seed, from a friends greenhouse in Dominican Republic.
I have no idea what its called. Does anyone have any idea?

I used to have a grape ivy with leaves similar to that, but it was very... well, viney! This looks more treeish.

I don't think its a grape, no tendrils, no vining nature either.
I don't think thats a sycamore, the seeds were tiny, although achene like, they were not packed into the prototypical fruit ball that sycamores have.

Reminds me of a Maple Leaf Plant I once had. Does it flower? Mine did. That is the only thing I could come up with. Sorry.

Wow you guys are great! I was told, now that you have jogged my memmory, that it had bell shapped flowers.
Now, how does one grow a hibiscus?
