Hence the name leopard stuck because when you think about it the name is unique to that particular species.

It could be something created to ascertain that specific plant.
Pretty sure leopards werent called leopards because of something already existing.
Same applies to a vampire plant or whatever. The rerm vampire could be anything that feeds off the blood or life of something else. Which when you think about it just means the things carnivorous in a sense.
Nothing to do with mythical vampires you're talking about.
But in all honesty as i stated earlier. I really don't care what you do. Odds are it's not gonna bother me.
