The most famous example is Carl Linnaeus, the father of modern taxonomy, and his "Systema Sexuale." Linnaeus classified plants based on the number and arrangement of their male and female reproductive organs. He used explicitly human analogies, referring to the calyx (the green part at the base of a flower) as the "bedroom" and elsewhere, in more earthier terms, as the "lips of the cunt". This system, while revolutionary, was considered "too smutty for British ears" by prudish botanists of the time, as it openly acknowledged that plant reproduction paralleled human sexuality.

This theme of being consumed by the woods—both physically and spiritually—is a cornerstone of the folk horror and eco-horror genres. The line suggests a scenario where nature is not a passive backdrop, but an active, predatory character.

At its core, "Plants vs. Cunts: The Woods Have Taken Her 2021" seems to grapple with questions of identity, belonging, and our place within the natural world. The film's narrative, though not explicitly stated, appears to revolve around a protagonist who finds herself at odds with societal expectations and the constraints of human culture.
