Met a guy at the Denver Botanic Gardens who only collects plants with square stems.

My aunt had a thing for weirdly shaped vegetables. Her pantry was full of carrots that looked like people.

Oh right, that's the proper name for it. I was reading about herb gardening last week and it came up because a lot of mint family plants have them. It's one of those things you see all the time but never know there's a specific term for it. Makes sense when you think about it, square stems. Kind of cool how common plants have these little details.
