Who knows. Is it because it resembles a "penis" this plant should not be picked by women.
Even the Cambodian government and plant experts have banned people from picking, so that this plant does not become extinct.

Can you imagine having a plant with this shape as a souvenir in the house? I think it is simply the desire to attract attention, starting with the shape it has. In my opinion, as a man, I don't find it attractive at all, but well, human nature. sometimes dedicated to finishing the true and wise nature
