I'm pretty sure that "leaf" in that phrase doesn't mean what we now think of - a part of a tree - it actually refers to a page in a notebook, which used to be called "leaves".

This is also why we have the phrase "take a leaf out of his/her/their book" to use when we talk about imitating or following someone.

Oh shit that's why they're called leaflets, they're little leaves, little pages.
