Nature is appealing, and as a natural result, it is tempting, so tempting, that the Cambodian government had to urge people to stop plucking the ‘endangered‘ ‘Penis Plant’ after some women were found having a hand at the unique species.

Nepenthes holdenii is a tropical pitcher plant commonly found in the mountainous regions of western Cambodia which is now at the risk of extinction with locals and tourists picking the plant in order to take selfies with it, New York Post reported.

Due to the plant’s ‘suspicious’ resemblance to an erect penis, it has been dubbed as the ‘penis plant’.
