aqueous: watery: containing, dissolved in, or consisting mostly of water

so, "aqueous dry" means it in a dry form, but can be dissolved in water.
No contradiction here.
However, to say the extract was taken from "dry leaves" is not accurate, and illogical as well. The leaves lose their juice when they get dry, and we can hadrly extract something from them in this condition.

This is a confirmation:
An aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is water. It is usually shown in chemical equations by appending (aq) to the relevant formula. The word aqueous means pertaining to, related to, similar to, or dissolved in water. As water is an excellent solvent as well as naturally abundant, it is a ubiquitous solvent in chemistry.
Substances that do not dissolve well in water are called hydrophobic ('water fearing') whereas those that do are known as hydrophilic ('water-loving'). An example of a hydrophilic substance would be the sodium chloride (ordinary table salt). Acids and bases are aqueous solutions, as part of their Arrhenius definitions.
