The maple leaf on our flag is considered to be a stylized version of the red maple. It was designed by Jacques Saint-Cyr.
A true red maple leaf actually has serrated edges and pointed sinuses (the parts between the points). It actually incorporates the style of a sugar maple with the smooth edges and rounded sinuses.

Maple leaves grow in paired opposite attachment along the stem, the penny has a two leaves attached individually. While the original artist may have thought it was a maple it is probably a London Plane Tree. I am referencing my university botany instructor on this one, but I verified this with phylotaxic diagrams.
Why is the Canadian flag red and white and why does it have a maple leaf on it?
Type your answer here... My recollection is that in 1963 or 1964, there was a competition to select a Canadian Flag. Up until that time the Canadian flag was the Red Ensign with the Canadian emblem on the fly. The final designs included a flag very similar to the current flag, except that the color at both ends was blue, to indicate the oceans from Atlantic to Pacific (my choice). I have always felt that including blue in the flag was more symbolic of the country; red, white and blue and ocean to ocean. Obviously I lost.
