Lotus a genus (family Fabaceae) of erect or semiprostrate leguminous plants for permanent pastures. They provide good feed, equal to alfalfa in nutritional quality, in many temperate regions, but some contain cyanogenetic glycosides, e.g. lotusin, or cause photosensitization. Includes L. australis, L. cruentus (L. australis var. parviflorus, L. coccineus), L. corniculatus, L. major; called also birdsfoot trefoils. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| So far, Lotusan has been used mostly on commercial buildings, which require no power washing with toxic cleaners to keep looking as fresh and shiny as a lotus leaf. Fold a lotus leaf in half and place it on a cutting board. Notice the four lotus leaf topped columns, which appear to support the roof and also do much to enhance the building's entrance. |
