To do: Is the Japanese version calling it "One-hit Death" actually true, or just a hoax? There's no recorded or translated notes of its description in Japanese.
Care to do so?

The Arboreal Frippery (イチコロダオレ?, lit.: "One-hit Death") 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]

Notes

Olimar's journal

“The ship seems to think this leaf would be a smash hit among naturalist interior designers. I just think it looks and feels like a soft blanket. In the interest of scientific discovery, I'd better give it a test run...”

Sales pitch

“Perfect for those who love natural designs in their home, this leaf applique is a bargain! Use it in pieces, or cover an entire wall in leafiness!”
