 ===Origin===
-Vileplume, like {{p|Gloom}}, is based on the the {{wp|rafflesia arnoldii}}, a foul-smelling flower known as the world's largest single flower. This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} more strongly resembles the flower than Gloom, which may represent the budding stage of the rafflesia. Vileplume's flower also looks alike to several other genus of rafflesia, notably cantleyi, keithii, pricei, panchoana and speciosa, of which the petal shape is a closest match. Female Vileplume may be based on {{wp|Rafflesia hasseltii}}, as its petals have distinctively larger blotches than other genus of Rafflesia.

 ====Name origin====
-{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Gloom and Vileplume}}
 Vileplume's name comes from a combination of ''vile'' and ''plume'', a swelling cluster of large, showy feathers (or in this case, petals). Its Japanese name is the word ''{{wp|rafflesia}}''.
