How would a plant evolve to germinate inside a person (or other animal)?

For the sake of the question, assume conditions are Earth-like in all manners other than those which would be required to spur the development of such a plant. I want the plant to gestate in the digestive tract and slowly kill the 'infected' by sucking the nutrients from them (like a tape worm). When said person dies the plant uses his/her body as compost to support growth and development.
