When I was at college aged 16 we had to learn 10 houseplants a week and were tested on Fri.
One time after looking over our answers the teacher called out "tell us all what you have for number 6 Kathryn" to which I confidently replied "necrophillia exaltata".
All the class (which was mainly mature students, only 4 school leavers) burst out laughing.
One plant I will never again forget is nephrolepis exaltata.
