2022.10.25.01.  “The girth of a palm stem (trunk) is set by the growing tip. These palms (in fact about 20 palms on this property) show early growth that was undersized (due to unfortunate cultural circumstances). Once planted, and given adequate root run and nutrition, the growing tip produced a more normal (larger) stem. The palm will not restore the older growth; there is no secondary thickening mechanism. This means you can track the growth history of a palm through comparing changes in stem character along the vertical axis.”  https://www.tiktok.com/@botanyincontext/video/7158591942677237034?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=6983645829257020934

Some grasses (like this Muhlenbergia) have a telling gestalt that helps with identification, but that actually defers the hard work of understanding detailed structure.
