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

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.
Birds aren't real
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
Legalise Canada

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.
Ahh yes that's correct. My bad.
Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy is a pretty memorable silhouette.
Shamrocks are pretty recognisable too.
Pine needles?
Maple leafs
Four leaf covers
Palm fronds?
Pineapple leafs are pretty identifiable
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.
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?
