Hi,

It does look like you have a Jarilla Chocola leaf, however, it's difficult to fully identify it without seeing the entire plant/tree. I cannot find much information on the tree itself. The best reference site I can find online is:

I have no idea what it looks like at this time. I found leaf while out jogging.
And while I'd like to believe it's a Jarilla Chocola Stanl, there are still some slight differences.
I have since found photos of the Brachychiton Acerifolius which looks more closely like it.
Please view the 2 URLs below and see what you think:

Enclosed another photo of my leaf (leaves).

Thanks!
