A Volcano Lotus is a plant that shoots out fireballs in Super Mario World. They appear in many levels. To defeat them, they must be spin jumped on, spun by a cape (pressing spin while wearing a cape), or eaten by a Yoshi. Their fireballs are initially spewn staight up in the air where they radiate out and rain down on the surrounding area. The Volcano Lotus might be related to their underwater counterparts from Super Mario Bros. 3, the Lava Lotus. They are called Volcano Plants in the game Super Princess Peach, which also introduces a sub-species known as a Calm Volcano Plant.

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

They share the same Japanese name as Panser - Ponkey - meaning it may be a redesigned Panser. However, they behave more like Lava Lotus, an undersea plant.
