(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lotus that I've seen before include "Sacred Egyptian water lily" , "Plant that mythically induces languor" , "Mythical plant inducing languor" , "Type of water lily" , "Fruit of forgetfulness - water lily - car marque" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the LA Times, the Universal and The Times.
