There are definitions for plants where the growth point during

being asked for, but I now forget them and they are rarely used.
There is also the problem that many plants will behave in
different
fashions according to conditions - e.g. many plants will grow
from
their stems after a mild winter but from their roots after a hard
one.

That's nothing: you should try linguistics!
