What follows is a list of nearly 700 lotus names. It is in no way "official". If you would like to help with additions and corrections, send them to kit@victoria-adventure.org
All names in this list belong to Nelumbo Adanson (Fam. 2: 76, 582. Jul-Aug 1763), so the N. that should be at the beginning of each entry is left off for brevity. Most names are transliterated to English from Chinese, many according to the Pinyin System. Spelling, including transliteration, has been corrected to the original publication and misspellings are not included. Those cultivar names which I believe to be "published and established" in accordance with the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) are expressed in BOLD. Those Names/Epithets which do not appear to be "fixed" are expressed in plain type.
Immediately following the Name/Epithet of each cultivar in this list is its type and color when known. If an image is available it is linked with Im. If multiple images are available a Gallery is linked with ImG. Each entry contains the following underlined abbreviations. Available information follows each code:
O = Originator, DO = Date of Origin, OP = Original Placement, AP = Author of Publication, P = Publication, VNP = Volume, Number, Page, PD = Publication Date, SCN = Synonym, Translation, Correction, Notes
Where available, translation of names is provided as a matter of interest and MUST NOT BE SUBSTITUTED for the correct names in their original language.
