Nelumbo nucifera, known by a number of names including Indian Lotus, Sacred Lotus, Bean of India, or simply Lotus, is a plant in the Nelumbonaceae family. Botanically, Nelumbo nucifera may also be referred to by its former names, Nelumbium speciosum or Nymphaea nelumbo. An aquatic perennial, Indian lotus is the national flower of India and Vietnam. The roots of the plant are firmly planted in the soil of the pond or river bottom. The leaves can be seen floating on the top of the water surface.
Lotus plants, specifically those in the genus Nymphaea, are generally considered perennial and can be either evergreen or deciduous depending on the species and environmental conditions. In warmer climates, some lotus species may retain their leaves year-round, while in colder regions, they may die back in winter and regrow in spring. Overall, the growth habit can vary significantly based on the specific type of lotus and its habitat.
