More out of curiosity, but does anyone know why this

is in the 'plant, tree' category, when other leaf parts like

It is because there is a distinction between parts meant for trees and more general
plant pieces. The first is nearly always used for palm trees, the second is often
not used as trees and bamboo is not a tree. The (often first) use at the time
of adding it to the catalogue is important although occasionally things get moved.
