It will be a sum of all the induvidual constituents, as these will vary between:

Leaf to leaf;
season;
plant;
region of growth.

to name but a few, i don't think you'll find much data out there.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Such things have to be determined experimentally, forget about trying to calcuate them. Or as a first approximation assume heat capacity of water (unless you are going to use dried leaves).
