They are a terrestrial variant of [[Lava Lotus]]<ref name=Book1>{{cite|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]|date=December 10, 1992|isbn=4-09-104117-5|location=Tokyo|language=ja|title=「任天堂公式ガイドブック　スーパーマリオワールド」 (''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook – Super Mario World'')|page=27|quote=(PONKEY <small>ポンキー</small> description). 「マリオ3に出てきた水中花の地上バージョン。火の玉を4つ吐き出して一休み。このくり返し。マントではじき飛ばすのが一番楽だ。」 (''An aboveground version of Mario 3's Suichūka. It spits out 4 fireballs then takes five. This repeats. It is easiest to flick it away with the Cape.'')}}</ref> that shoots out [[fireball]]s.

==History==
===''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''===
Volcano Lotuses are enemies in ''Super Mario World'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]. They are stationary obstacles that spew small fireballs into the air at a diagonal angle, which proceed to slowly rain down on the surrounding area after reaching their highest point. While invulnerable to [[Fire Mario]]'s fireballs, Volcano Lotuses can be defeated by whirling [[Mario]]'s (or [[Luigi]]'s) [[Cape Feather|Cape]] next to them, crushing them with a Body Press as [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]], or eating them with a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. [[Spin Jump|Spin-jump]]ing on them or stepping on them while riding a Yoshi does not harm them, but it makes the player bounce off without taking damage.

===''Super Mario World'' (television series)===
A Volcano Lotus, referred to as a '''Fire Plant''', appears in the episode "[[Send in the Clown]]" of the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]]. It produces the fireballs that Mario, Luigi, [[Yoshi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] use in a tennis game (in lieu of actual tennis balls).

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Volcano Plants are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They also received a Calm counterpart, the [[C. V. Plant]].

===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', {{iw|minecraftwiki|Spore Blossom}}s are replaced by Volcano Lotuses.
