    Sorry, I hit submit instead of upload and didn't include the 2nd photo I intended to for identification of the two plants. As I said in my first try, the bark of the plant on the right is grayish with a mottled appearance. Here are both of the photos this time. Thanks, lmc825

    Answer

    Imc825, the mountain-ash seedling I commented on in the previous post. The liana (i.e., woody vine) does appear to be Vitis riparia (river grape). Other species in New England would have the lower surface of the leaves prominently whitened or grayed by hairs or bloom. This is a native liana of New England.
