I saw this in a hotel and wondered if anyone could id which plant or tree this branch is from. I know it is art but I thought I’d ask. I appreciate any help you can shed.
Silver dollar eucalyptus. I’m a florists assistant and work with it a lot lol
GnaphaliumUliginosum
It’s not Ginkgo, wrong leaf shape, and not Eucalyptus, which has opposite rather than alternate leaves. Leaf shape is emarginate (the notch at the leaf apex) which is a distinctive characteristic, but can’t even place it to family with such little information.

Redbud maybe?
Edit: specifically Cercis occidentalis, matches leaf shape and alternate arrangement
CafecitoKilla
Sea Grape

It’s Valfërn, from the IKEA commercial decorating catalog…
coelestinum
My first thought was actually seagrape leaves, but I know that isn’t right – seagrapes are actually too round to be leaves, which are between a heart and a circle. Redbuds are too heart shaped – too pointy on one side, while these are round with a small divot. Silver dollar eucalyptus is the most likely of all proposed, but its leaves are (theoretically) supposed to be opposite, not alternate. Odd. I’m not sure why the plant would sometimes be alternate and sometimes opposite, maybe there are two different eucalyptus both called silver dollar…?

Looks like Gingko Biloba?
