Naturaliter, it was named Phallus drewsii. Hoc fit in album of the top 10 species nominatur in 2009, paruit Arizona University (non ipsum bonum album, si 7 novae species meae illic non erant…). Dum vitare phallicum et tendere O'Keeffesque botanicae, huic resistere non potui, quia nominatus est aliquis ex mea institutione. M.. Robertus Drewes nunc habet fungos phallicos parvas ab eo appellatas (cum permission). Taxonomia humor ad opus.
I’d have a hard time agreeing to that – the scientific name causes giggle enough, but a common name of “Drew’s penis”? I don’t think I could deal with that!
Hmph! I’m laughing at the O’Keefian reference. How’s this to turn the tables or add fuel to your fire:
