The first looks looks very similar to a type of Alfalfa that ends up in hay bales around here and then gets away when the bales are used for flood control. Its pretty invasive once let loose.
The second, ... The only tree I can think of where the petiole end of the leaf wraps around the stem like that is Platanus but the leaves are the wrong shape. Everything else is right: alternate, fuzzy, perfoliate leaves.

for your replies.
I did a bit of browsing online, the small one is indeed a type of alfalfa with yellow flowers (falcata) . Still unsure of the other one but very likely came from a nearby tree.
Could this possibly be a type of elm tree? English elm??
Here are some more pictures. The first one is the two stems of the same(young) tree in the pot, per my original post.
The subsequent photos are of a new/young stem of a nearby tree which I think look similar (leaves are alternate, serrated margin, a small tiny leaf at the petiole end, furry, similar leaf veins). This tree has been around for more than 20 years.

Could be. Good detectvie work.

Looking at my bigger screen with my morning eyes, I agree, not an elm.

I can't say what it is, but as you are searching, you might get some better hits if you knew that those tiny leaves at the leaf stem base are called stipules.

I don't see a petiole so called them perfoliate.

Either way, I still would call them stipules as the don't seem to be extensions of the main leaf. You might try both words (stipiules & perfoliate), as perhaps only a botanist would nitpick.
