Nelumbo nucifera, also known as Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India, or simply lotus, is one of two species of aquatic plant in the family Nelumbonaceae. The Linnaean binomial Nelumbo nucifera (Gaertn.) is the currently recognized name for this species, which has been classified under the former names, Nelumbium speciosum (Willd.) and Nymphaea nelumbo, among others. (These names are obsolete synonyms and should be avoided in current works.) This plant is an aquatic perennial. Under favorable circumstances its seeds may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from that of seeds 1,300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in northeastern China.
Native to Tropical Asia and Queensland, Australia, it is commonly cultivated in water gardens. It is also the national flower of India and Vietnam.
While all modern plant taxonomy systems agree that this species belongs in the genus Nelumbo, the systems disagree as to which family Nelumbo should be placed in, or whether the genus should belong in its own unique family and order.

"Lotus Flower" is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released on their eighth studio album The King of Limbs (2011). It features singer Thom Yorke's falsetto over syncopated beats and a "propulsive" bass line. Its music video, featuring Yorke's erratic dancing, spawned an internet meme.
Despite not being released as a single, "Lotus Flower" charted on the UK Singles Chart, the Ultratop 50, the US Alternative Songs chart and the US Rock Songs chart. It received positive reviews and was nominated for Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, and Best Short Form Music Video at the 54th Grammy Awards.
On tour with his band Atoms for Peace, singer Thom Yorke debuted a solo acoustic version of "Lotus Flower" at the Echoplex in Los Angeles on 2 October 2009. Like the rest of The King of Limbs, the song was possibly recorded in the house of actress Drew Barrymore, who is thanked in the album's liner notes.
According to the NME, "Lotus Flower" combines the "keyboard-and-drum machine sound" of Radiohead's fourth album Kid A (2000) with the "sonic warmth" of their seventh album In Rainbows (2007). It features Yorke's "Prince-like"falsetto over syncopated beats and a synthesized "propulsive" bass line. Though the main percussion beat is in 4/4 time, the hand claps are in 5/8 time, creating a metric dissonance. The song has a more traditional song structure than the first half of The King of Limbs; Luke Lewis of the NME described it as "probably the only song on The King of Limbs with an actual chorus", and speculated that the lyrics are about "transcendence, self-effacement", and "the magic of losing yourself in music and the senses".

[Chorus]
Be alive now
Let me open the door
Let the music captivate and make the voices still
See the light
See the lotus flower
Spinnin' around within
Openin' up all new worlds to explore
Ay Ay Ay Ay
[Repeat]
[Repeat]
[Verse One]
Here we go ridin' on waves
See the lotus
Creepin' up without a notice
Make a foe spaz
Dwellin' in a zone that's so rare
Really no man
Be up in or try to go there
Outta your head
Flyin' through the sky on mopeds
Yellin' oh yeah
Cosmic universal showcase
I'm a go head
Shoot the gift at y'all
With no lead
Get you open
Runnin' around the rings of Saturn
And some Pro Keds
Screamin'
[Chorus]
[Bridge: George Clinton]
Ain't nothin' wrong with you
Do not adjust your channel
Keep movin' on won't you
We've just began to travel
[Verse Two]
Stylin' infinite and passion
Make me mash on
Till the last song is done
So fasten
Your belt and let's run
To intersessions
You're probably stressin'
I didn't come to rhyme about
Using a Smith and Wesson
We test understanding
Lessons
That come from down and under
Where sons haven't been born
At my discretion
I'm here to bless ya
Apply the pressure
To get ya
Aligned with mind and body
Party
Syncing
With the bigger picture
You may not get it now
But in the future
You will mature
And join the Craft
And outer sessions
If the music lets ya
It's just the essence
Of pure common sense
It's not a lecture
If you don't make it in this life
I'll see your spirit
Next time
Screamin'
[Chorus]
[Bridge: George Clinton]
Just let the song take you
To places where the magic
Is going on people
