Lotus Names
Y-Z
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.
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, multiple images 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
