==Trivia==

===Origin===

Meganium has the appearance of a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}}, particularly an ''{{wp|Apatosaurus}}''. Its flower seems to be based on a type of hybrid {{wp|daylily}} with ruffled edges and its long neck makes it similar to the ''{{wp|Amorphophallus titanum|titan arum}}''. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|pelargonium|geraniums}}, as suggested by its name. Meganium's design may have also been influenced by ''{{wp|Aachenosaurus}}'', an ancient plant whose fossils were once believed to belong to a dinosaur.
