From leaf + -ling.

noun leaflings

A small, tiny, miniature, or immature leaf; a leaflet. […] 'Twas a garnet leaf of the richest hue, A smooth, bright rose, with a shadow or two, And a silky, rose-petal feel. And all alive seemed this leafling to be, For it trembled and quivered at a touch, As if from a possible hurt it would flee.
