Either of these is fine with me.

The 'without corners' name follows the precedent of existing LDraw pieces:
2450.DAT Plate 3 x 3 without Corner
2419.DAT Plate 3 x 6 without Corners
6106.DAT Plate 6 x 6 without Corner
2401.DAT Plate 10 x 10 without Corner
Another, somewhat similar, piece is the famous '3x4 notched trapezoid'.
Unfortunately, this piece has a wholly dissimilar name:
4859.DAT Wedge 3 x 4 Plate
Currently, no LDraw part uses the term 'tapered'.

Parts from the Bracket range:
2436.DAT Bracket 1 x 2 - 1 x 4
2422.DAT Bracket 2 x 2 - 1 x 4
3956.DAT Bracket 2 x 2 - 2 x 2
6087.DAT Bracket 5 x 2 x 2 & 1/3
4732.DAT Bracket 8 x 2 x 1 & 1/3
None of these provide any description of shape, except for the brackets
with studs in two different directions. So this piece could be simply:
30250.DAT Bracket 4 x 7 x 3

You are correct. But the category name should have been 'Plant' to begin
with, to match the singular style of other categories.
