The Cambodian government is urging sexed-up citizens to stop playing with phallic-shaped  (hình dương vật) flowers (hoa) known as Nepenthes holdenii — saying the erotic-looking plants are at risk of extinction (tuyệt chủng).

The Ministry of Environment (bộ môi trường) issued the stern statement (thông cáo nghiêm khắc/nghiêm nghị) on Wednesday after a video showing several women picking the plants went viral on the internet.

Nepenthes holdenii is a tropical pitcher plant  (cây nắp ấm) commonly found in the mountainous regions (vùng đồi núi) of western Cambodia. The flower — dubbed the “penis plant” due to its resemblance to an erect (cương) human phallus — has long been a protected species.

However, in recent years, locals and tourists have been pulling the frisky-looking flora from the ground at an increased rate and snapping selfies for social media.
