Neville Longbottom holding a Mimbulus mimbletonia in 1995.

It is most notable for its pulsating and squirming nature and its unique defence mechanism. When prodded, Stinksap is squirted out from the boils on the surface of the plant. Stinksap is a non-poisonous liquid and is described as dark green and smelling like "rancid manure".[1] After receiving one of them as a gift during the summer of 1995, Neville Longbottom demonstrated its defence mechanism for Harry Potter on the Hogwarts Express, accidentally covering the compartment and the people in it with Stinksap. Later on, it is discovered that further on in the plant's development, it makes "odd crooning noises when touched."

History

Mimbulus Mimbletonia was used as the password for the Gryffindor's common room at the start of the 1995–1996 school year, which Neville was overjoyed by, as he could finally remember the password.

The plant is also mentioned by Hermione Granger in 1997, when retorting to Ron Weasley that she doubts that he "would find a woman who sulked for half an hour because Madam Rosmerta didn't laugh at their joke about the hag, the healer and the Mimbulus mimbletonia" after his comment about women being easily upset.
