Leaves of water lily Coated with the wax:
The waxes are produced on both sides of the leaves from their stomata, this secretion of waxes helps water lily to prevent water losses by reverse osmosis.
The wax creates an outer layer of zero friction surface helping the water lily leaves float on the water surface, the wax also creates a shiny coating that reflects and lowers the temperature of the water and also prevents water loss by evaporation and helps in prevention of other plant diseases.
