I think {latna} was focused on Nelmbo and then Nymphaea by extension -- the culturally significant loti. Zizyphus (Missouri Code gives that as an acceptable alternative spelling, though not favored) was also culturally significant at one time apparently, but never got to cult status in the civilized world. Lotus is just another bit of fodder and probaly goes with clover and the like, wherever that is. I'd stick with {latni} being water lilies and things that look a lot like them. --part1_123.72ebacb.291fe6d8_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 11/10/2001 10:13:19 PM Central Standard Time, phma@oltronics.net writes:

Iffy.  I think {latna} was focused on Nelmbo and then Nymphaea by extension -- the culturally significant loti.  Zizyphus (Missouri Code gives that as an acceptable alternative spelling, though not favored) was also culturally significant at one time apparently, but never got to cult status in the civilized world.  Lotus is just another bit of fodder and probaly goes with clover and the like, wherever that is.  I'd stick with {latni} being water lilies and things that look a lot like them. --part1_123.72ebacb.291fe6d8_boundary--
