lotus leaf
Pond plant foliage
The large, round leaf of the lotus plant, notable for its water-repellent surface that causes droplets to bead up and roll off.
This self-cleaning property, called the lotus effect, has inspired waterproof coatings and fabrics.
In Asian cuisines, lotus leaves wrap rice and other foods for steaming, imparting a subtle vegetal flavor: sticky rice steamed in lotus leaf.
