Everyone calls these Christmas trees, maybe the proper name is be push pins, but there are way too many retainers that fit that description.

These are called rivet-screws, usually have a flat or phillips head. Some just push in by your thumb and expand like a rivet.

The ones you push with your thumb but have to take off with a flat head by prying out the center circle... maybe im just crazy.
