An aquatic plant belonging to the Nelumbonaceae family of flowering plants. The lotus has prominent blooms (of pink or white hues) rising 8-12 inches above the water, each with a flattened central seed pod structure and fully circular leaves with centrally-attached stems. These features help distinguish it from the [[lily (flower)|water lily]] (Nymphaea), with which it is often confused. [i]Nelumbo nucifera[/i] (also known as the Sacred or Indian Lotus) will probably be the plant of interest to Danbooru image taggers, being a divine symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism. It conveys the virtues of purity and non-attachment; it is associated with beauty, elegance, and grace. h4. See also * [[flower]] * [[lily (flower)]] * [[lily pad]] h4.
