Leaves on flags

Besides Canada’s maple leaf flag, at least seven other countries feature leaves on theirs. Brazil has a laurel wreath and five clusters of coffee plant leaves.

Jamaica’s diagonal gold cross flag has green sections resembling a leaf. Lebanon’s flag has a green cedar tree, and the flag of Cameroon features green leaves flanking a star. Their leaves stand for natural resources and agriculture.
