Inflammable has the same meaning, i.e. 'easily set on fire', as flammable, which is now preferred in official advisory contexts: see flammable. Inflammatory means 'tending to cause inflammation (of the body)' and figuratively (especially in the context of speeches, leaflets, etc.) 'tending to cause anger'.
