Lotus principle and other examples of Superhydrophobic surfaces in nature
There many examples of superhydrophobic biological surfaces in nature. The ability of these surfaces to make water bead off completely and thereby wash off contamination very effectively has been termed the “Lotus effect”, although it is observed not only on the leaves of the Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera L.) but also on many other species, such as Tropaeolum majus L. (Indian Cress/Nasturtium) or Alchemilla vulgaris L. (Lady’s Mantle).
