The most recognizable leaf silhouette is the marijuana leaf.

Maple leaves are pretty recognizable. There's a whole entire country that's got one on its flag.

- As a Minnesotan who pops gummies every night, I can safely say I have no idea how many leaves are on a marijuana, but a maple is 3 points with 3 points on each of them and 2 teeny tiny little legs at the bottom

  The iconic sugar maple leaves have 5 lobes, not 3. I am a Certified Naturalist with a specialty in native trees.

  Being able to reproduce it from memory is different from recognizing it though

- Split the middle. Japanese Maple Tree leaves look almost identical to Marijuana leaves.

- Fake news, Canada's not a real country, it's made up, like unicorns, or gypsies.

- Maple leaves are pretty recognizable, but if I saw a silhouette of a marijuana leaf next to the silhouette of a maple leaf, I'd probably pick out the marijuana leaf first. I'm not really even a weed user. Might just be me, though.

(four leaf) clover have to be in the top five most recognizable too

- Probably more recognizable TBH.

I think Canada would like a word

- I always recognize the Canadian flag because of the iconic marijuana leaf

Canada would like to have a word

- Canada: Am I a joke to you?

  The kids in the hall say yes

  Yes. This country certainly is right now

  Have you seen South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut?

As much as I wish this were true, even little kids can recognize clover leaf.

If I had to rate recognition I think it would be:

Clover

Fern

Maple

Cannabis

- I feel like oak is also in the top 5. Possibly even higher than cannabis.

  Depends on where you live. We don't have any oaks where I grew up. I couldn't tell you what their leaves look like

- Individual leaves of clover definitely aren't that recognizable.

  The leaf is the set of leaflets.

Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy is a pretty memorable silhouette.

18
Shamrocks are pretty recognisable too.

17
Pine needles?

Maple leafs

Four leaf covers

Palm fronds?

Pineapple leafs are pretty identifiable

14
- A pineapple leaf on its own could be any kind of long thin leaf though. It's only on a pineapple that they're obvious

Sorry, maple leaf for the win.

Have to say oak myself, at least in the northern hemisphere.

- Pointy oak, round oak or broad oak?

Palm leaves ?

Nah, it risks getting mixed up with maple's.

Haven't you seen any Gingko biloba?

- You mean spades?

  I think they are like butterfly wings. No other leaves looks like that.

What a relief.

- What a reefer leaf

Any love for the Hong Kong orchid?

I wouldn't go that far. I have no idea what it even looks like.
