The Arboreal Frippery is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. It is actually a leaf from a Japanese maple tree, although it is easily confused with a marijuana leaf. The treasure is found in the fourth sublevel of the Shower Room, which is a large, calm area with only harmless Unmarked Spectralids and two Queen Candypop Buds. The water is too shallow to drown Pikmin, so it can be crossed with any type of Pikmin. The treasure is in a pipe, so the Treasure Gauge can be used to find the correct pipe. Since it weighs only one unit, throwing a single Pikmin at it should easily transport the treasure back to the Ship's Pod in a hasty manner. It is tied with several treasures for the least amount of Pokos it's worth.
The leaf is red in the European version, as well all regions of the Switch port, presumably to drive away the comparison to marijuana. The red leaf version is reused from an earlier set of treasures found in the game's disc.[1]

Sales pitch
Olimar's journal in the Japanese version
- Text: “昨日もほとんど眠れなかった……。自宅のせんべい布団がなつかしい。そういえば、この植物には強い導眠作用があるらしい。量をまちがえると永遠の眠りに落ちるともあるようだが……ちょっと使ってみようか。”
- Translation: “I hardly slept at all yesterday... I miss my senbei-buton at home. Come to think of it, this plant is supposed to have a strong sleep inducing effect. It is said that if you use the wrong amount, you will fall into an eternal sleep... I'll try using it for a while.”
Sales pitch in the Japanese version
- Text: “不眠に苦しむ現代人にぴったり。時には永遠の眠りに落ちることも？強すぎる効き目の最凶導眠剤。”
- Translation: “Perfect for the insomnia sufferers of today. Sometimes fall into eternal sleep? A much too potent sleep inducer.”
