Just to saisfy my curiosity. Do you say "Lotus" for Nelumbo not "Lotos"?
I know Lotus as a different genus e.g. Lotus corniculatus.

Lotus is the English name for various species of 'waterlilies' and,
historically, for a probably imaginary plant with hypnotic effects,
a tree with very hard wood and various kinds of clover or trefoil.
It is also the botanical Latin name for the bird's foot trefoil
genus.
There are lots of such confusions in English, though I have to
admit that this one is particularly extreme :-)

Yes, Nelumbo (nucifera) is known as the Lotus flower.
