maple leaf
Canada's flag symbol
A maple leaf is a leaf from a maple tree, characterized by its distinctive lobed shape with pointed tips.
The leaf's symmetrical form makes it instantly recognizable: The maple leaf turns brilliant red in autumn.
Maple leaves are commonly associated with Canada, though the tree grows throughout temperate regions. (Capitalized Maple Leaf often refers to Canadian symbols or the Toronto hockey team.)
