Why is this seperate from [[Panser]] if it has the same Japanese name? It wouldn't surprise me if they were just redesigned, that's happened before. [[User:Binarystep|Binarystep]] ([[User talk:Binarystep|talk]]) 01:34, 9 March 2015 (EDT)
In fact, to quote the page for [[Panser]] (emphasis mine):
They are much like the [[Volcano Lotus]] and the [[Lava Lotus]] (as well as [[Pompon Flower]]s) of later games. In fact, they share the same Japanese name as the Volcano Lotus - Ponkey - '''meaning that the Volcano Lotus is a redesigned Panser'''.

[https://archive.ph/yutSZ Mario Portal] confirms that "Volcano Lotus", the original ''Super Mario World'' name, is the correct one. "Volcano Plant" is from ''Super Princess Peach'', whose English localization is janky in the same way that ''Super Mario RPG'''s is, containing inconsistencies like "[[Petey Piranha#Super Princess Peach|Boss P. Plant]]" and "[[Spike Top#Super Princess Peach|Mecha-Spike Top]]". Therefore, it should not take priority, especially since people are far more likely to be familiar with ''SMW'' than ''SPP''. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 18:18, August 18, 2022 (EDT)

See above. The [https://archive.ph/yutSZ|''Super Mario World'' section of the English Mario Portal], despite using the exact same "[[Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother|A. F. H. Bro]]" abbreviation used in ''Super Princess Peach''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> in-game glossary and also including other anachronistic names such as "[[Galoomba]]" and "[[Swoop]]", throws "Volcano Plant" in the garbage in favor of "Volcano Lotus", the original name. Since there's no way that shared abbreviation is a coincidence, I can only see this as an acknowledgement that "Volcano Plant" is a goof and that "Volcano Lotus" is the proper name for this enemy. This makes sense, since "Volcano Lotus" is overall a more fitting name given its relation to [[Lava Lotus]], not to mention ''SPP''<nowiki>'s</nowiki>  janky localization featuring "Boss P. Plant" and "Mecha-Spike Top".
