Mimbletonia是什麼

Harry Potter 裡的 Mimbulus Mimbletonia 中譯為惡人掌

Wikipedia 是這樣說的：
Mimbulus mimbletonia is described as "appear[ing] to be a small grey cactus in a pot, except that it was covered with what looked like boils rather than spines" (OotP 186). The genus name mimbulus may be related to the real genus mimulus, especially since those plants are used as folk remedies for "shyness, anxiety, and forgetfulness" and those are traits of Neville Longbottom.[1] It is extremely rare and possibly of Assyrian origin, because that is where Uncle Algie acquired it. It is notable for its unique defensive mechanism: spraying Stinksap from its boils when poked.
