How should I photograph a leaf?

Place it flat in even light, show both surfaces if possible, and include an attached twig or stem to reveal leaf arrangement.

Can a detached leaf give an exact species?

Not always. Many plants share similar leaves, so the result may provide a genus or several likely alternatives.

Can this identify poisonous leaves?

It may suggest a plant, but it cannot guarantee toxicity or safety. Avoid touching or eating unknown plants.
