I believe the plant illustrated on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is Stachys sylvatica, also known in English as woundwort, wood w., hedge nettle and white spot. This last name is related to the white spots found on the leaves of this plant.
If examined closely, the VMS image looks like a leaf on top leans to the right while the leaf behind it leans to the left. I think this is just a way to hide the natural shape of the leaves while still leaving it right our in plain sight. The partial shapes revealed in the image show partial woundwort-like leaf shapes. Stachys sylvatica leaves are heart-shaped - maybe this is a single leaf with a disguised heart shape instead of being an arrow's feathers.
The white spots on the leaves in the VMS image reflect the English common name of white spot - a fairly easy mnemonic to remember and recognize. (Anyone familiar with my ideas should know I favor an English origin and English language basis for the text.)
I don't think it is any more complicated than that.
Thank you.
