DRIED LEAVES or DRY LEAVES?

Many workbooks use "dried leaves" to mean "daun kering" (directly translated from BM).

However, if we really refer to any dictionaries, we could hardly find that term/phrase. All the dictionaries I've got use only "DEAD LEAVES" and "FALLEN LEAVES".

Examples;
1. Ali was sweeping up the dead leaves in the back garden.
2. The pupils swept the fallen leaves up into a pile.

P/S: DRIED FRUIT ✔️
DRIED HERBS ✔️
DRIED FLOWERS ✔️
DRIED LEAVES❓
Maybe the leaves are purposely dried to make bookmarks...🤔
