That would be the same technique that Edouard demonstrated before except using a
palmera_mask where the area outside the leaf is black and inside the leaf is
white. Transparent texture for the black areas and leaf texture for the white
areas, something like:

#declare T_Palmera = texture {
   pigment { image_map{ png "palmera.png"  interpolate 2}}
   normal { bump_map{ png "palmera_bump.png" bump_size 0.8}}
   finish { diffuse 0.8 specular 0.5 ambient 0.100000 roughness 1/50 }
}

texture {
   image_pattern { png "palmera_mask.png" }
   texture_map {
      [0 pigment { rgbt 1 } finish { ambient 0 diffuse 0 } ]
      [1 T_Palmera ]
   }
}
