"Nelumbo lutea, the American Lotus, also known as Yellow Lotus or Water-chinquapin, is a flowering plant of the order Proteales."
"Like the Asian species Nelumbo nucifera, the American Lotus is an emergent aquatic plant. It grows inlakes and swamps, as well as areas subject to flooding. The roots are anchored in the mud, but the leavesand flowers emerge above the water's surface. The petioles of the leaves may extend as much as 2 m (6.6 ft) and end in a broad round leaf blade."
