It is not actually a leaf--it is a type of fruit called a samara or a key. Several kinds of trees have samaras; trees in the genus Acer (maples and box elder) have double samaras; ash trees have canoe-paddle shaped samaras. You can tell what kind of a tree it came from if you are a "good samaraton" (sorry).

Yes, they are the seeds of maple trees. The wing helps the wind disperse them.

Its actually not a seed, but a fruit, called a samara. Maple trees have then, as well as several other types of trees, like ash and larch.

I always thought they were called maple keys (but of course we called them helicopters more often!)
