A '''Volcano Plant'''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xikSOUzjQDU ''Super Princess Peach'' Glossary]</ref> (formerly known as a '''Volcano Lotus''') is a plant that shoots out [[fireballs]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They appear in many levels, spewing small fireballs into the air at a diagonal angle, which proceed to slowly rain down on the surrounding area after reaching their highest point. To defeat them, they must be hit by whirling Mario's [[Cape Mario|cape]] next to them or eaten by a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. [[Spin Jump|Spin jumping]] on them or stepping on them while riding a Yoshi will not harm them, but will make the player bounce off without taking damage. The Volcano Plant might be related to a similar enemy found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[Lava Lotus]], although the latter is only found underwater.
