    Lotus Flower

    Lotus is the genus name for aquatic plants commonly known as waterlilies. While lotus can refer to plants from both the Nymphaea and Nelumbo genera, they differ in that Nelumbo flowers are above water and have red petals rather than white or yellow. Lotus plants grow from rhizomes in mud at the bottom of still bodies of water, with leaves and flowers emerging on long stalks. Their round leaves have stalks in the center and do not form water droplets due to a lack of wax.

    Lotus Flower

    Lotus (Nymphaea) is the genus name for aquatic plants of the Nymphaeaceae tribe. In English it
    is known as water-lily or waterlily. In Indonesia, lotus is also used to refer to plants of the genus
    Nelumbo (lotus). In ancient times, people used to confuse plants of the Nelumbo genus such as
    lotus with the Nymphaea (lotus) genus. In Nelumbo, the flowers are above the water surface (not
    floating), the petals are red (the lotus is white to yellow), the leaves are full circle and the
    rhizome is usually consumed.

    Plants grow on the surface of still water. Flowers and leaves are found on the surface of the
    water, coming out of stems from rhizomes that are in the mud at the bottom of ponds, rivers or
    swamps. The stalk is in the middle of the leaf. The leaves are round or broadly oval in shape that
    are truncated at the radius to the stalk. The leaf surface does not contain a waxy layer so that the
    water that falls on the leaf surface does not form water droplets.

    Flowers are on the stalk which is an extension of the rhizome. Flower diameter between 5-10 cm.
    The lotus consists of about 50 species spread from tropical to subtropical regions throughout the
    world. The lotus that grows in the tropics comes from Egypt.
