With its waterlily-like flowers and aquatic lifestyle the sacred lotus superficially resembles waterlilies (Nymphaeaceae) although its closest living relatives have been shown to be the plane trees (Platanaceae) and members of the Proteaceae family. (jimrichardsonphotography.com)
It is sometimes also known as Nymphaea nelumbo, due to the now discredited belief that it was part of the Nymphea genus , which includes many waterlilies. (krishihelpline.com)
