I'm wondering if it's honeysuckle.

The honeysuckles I'm familiar with have opposite leaves not alternate leaves.
I don't recognize this plant.

Is it the (imported) vining Euonymus? I think the same thing has shown up in our woods. I don't know the species. So far it's not as scary a problem as the (imported) honeysuckle vines.
Edit: yours isn't the usual invasive Euonymus fortunei (which also has opposite leaves). But I can't find anything else.

I was in Pt. Pleasant Beach, NJ yesterday and saw some of this on a vacant lot along with other wild stuff.
It's not evergreen and I don't think it's honeysuckle anymore.

I'm thinking it may be an immature honeysuckle. Since I pulled it out I won't know.
I found a piece of honeysuckle in flower (that's how I noticed it) in my front yard and the leaves are similar. I need to check for that saw-tooth edge on the leaf.
