So, you couldn't be 80% sure of a cultivar looking at those 3 pics if it was one you have grown for some time? When young they all have subtle differences that one who grows them a lot should be able to notice. Sure, some are easier than others, but an experienced grower should have a good idea what it is and be quite certain of ones it is not from the 3 pics Ty explained especially when it is something from a nursery since that narrows the possibilities.
It has to do with more than just the openness of the channel in the petiole, the length, coloring, thickness, etc all play a part.
I wasn't saying you could get a certain ID, just an approximation, 80%, not 100. That means 20% of the time they will still be wrong.
