Talk:Utpala

Plant Species uncertain?
I have read through the citations and it is not certainly said that Utpala means Nymphaea caerulea. It could also be that "Blue Lotus" means Nymphaea nouchali. With regards to the natural habitats of these plants, an identification of the ornament Blue Lotus in the buddhist culture as Nymphaea nouchali makes more sense from my point of viev. For more information see Nymphaea nouchali. --Mayonnaisium (talk) 18:55, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
