	When Did Angiosperms First Evolve? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The reticulate-columellate condition of Nelumbo pollen is thought to be derived, but if it is basic to angiosperm exine evolution, as Crinopolles pollen suggests, either Nymphaea pollen has lost its tectate wall structure, or it represents a pre-tectate (pre-Crinopolles) state like that of P.
		Nelumbo pollen varies from trisulcate with a pair of equatorial sulci positioned as in Tricrinopollis (Cornet, 1989a) to tricolpate (Kuprianova, 1979) - the aperture type which is basic to the Cretaceous angiosperm radiation (Doyle, 1977).
		Kuprianova regards the trisulcate condition in extant Nelumbo pollen as a vestige of the palynological transition from monosulcate to tricolpate dicot pollen.

		The Nelumbonaceae are a small family of aquatic angiosperms comprising Nelumbo nucifera and Nelumbo lutea.
		However, aperture variability in Nelumbo may be correlated with the lateness of aperture ontogeny in the genus, which occurs in the early free spore stage.
		Although Nelumbo is similar to both groups in several characters, the ontogenetic sequence of the genus is different in many ways.

	The Sacred Lotus by Jack Wootton
		Yes, the Sacred Lotus of the Orient, Nelumbo nucifera, does indeed have a close North American relative, so close in fact, that plant breeders such as the renowned Perry D. Slocum have created attractive and hardy hybrids of the two species.
		I think it's fairly safe to assume that after having read the preceding statements, your first question will be "If this plant is so great, why haven't I encountered it before?" The answer, I'm afraid, is either your west coast spring or your prairie winter; depending upon how far west you live..
		When Nelumbo senses autumn's falling temperatures, the runners dive deep into the mud and form starchy, over-wintering tubers(a food source in Asiatic countries).
