The only things I know that look like this are in genus Heptapleurum (formerly Schefflera), specifically H. actinophyllum and H. arboricola. That genus is in the family you mentioned so that’d be my first guess.

Maybe this is why they named a Super Mario RPG boss after this genus

Your mentioning using stuff from tlieset packs (which I presume you made) actually made me wonder about something – I’m definitely not a skilled visual artist myself, but I do have various very well-made asset packs that I’ve picked up over the years (mainly due to the giant bundles on itch.io), so maybe I could actually try stitching a scene together from them sometime. Could be a fun way to spend an hour or two when bored, and I could do something with these purchases while also being able to show off the work of a variety of pixel artists to friends.

A local park ranger I know likes to remark that our state tree is a grass. (I’m in Florida.)

But I’d say that’s also inaccurate. IMO, grasses are in the family Poaceae, and palms are in the family Arecaceae. I guess one could remark that our state tree is a commelinid…but I don’t think tourists would get as much of a kick out of that.

Time to post one of my favorite songs:

(“Da Coconut Nut”, by Ryan Cayabyab. This version is probably the one performed by his group, Smokey Mountain.)

This song reminds us that the coconut is not a nut; it is the fruit of the cocopalm.
