Question

I want to discribe the flower lotus

Answer 1

It has a very wide native distribution, ranging from central and northern India (at altitudes up to 1,400 m or 4,600 ft in the southern Himalayas[2]), through northern Indochina and East Asia (north to the Amur region; the Russian populations have sometimes been referred to as "Nelumbo komarovii"), with isolated locations at the Caspian Sea.[3] Today the species also occurs in southern India, Sri Lanka, virtually all of Southeast Asia, New Guinea and northern and eastern Australia, but this is probably the result of human translocations.[3] It has a very long history (c.3,000 years) of being cultivated for its edible seeds,[3] and it is commonly cultivated in water gardens.[2] It is the national flower of India and Vietnam.
