Japanese onibasu lotus (literally: devil lotus) Explanation: Found the following websites: I feel it may be best to use the Japanese name. ONIBASU (lotus) The Japanese lotus, known as "onibasu" is fast-growing plant of the pond lily family. This fragrance is blended to invigorate, leading to a feeling of happiness. http://www.city.kaizu.lg.jp/english/spotguide/onibasugunseic... http://www.uniquejapan.com/productviewa.aspx?cid=Home&sc1id=... Location: Aqua World Suigo Park Center Onibasu (Japanese lotus) is a yearly plant that belongs to the pond lily family. In Japan, they flourish in warm and tropical meadows ranging form Nigata to Kagoshima prefecture. The direct translation forOnibasu is “Devil lotus” because it looks like lotus with thorns. Their unique traits are: rapid growth in summer, long-lasting seeds and transformation of the leaves. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2007-04-06 13:33:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you are talking about a variety of flowers, I feel that it would be good to put the word "lotus" after "onibasu" to make the reader know that it is a flower of the lotus family...(The onibasu lotus is a beautiful lotus...) Putting the word "Japanese" in front tells the reader that it is a lotus variety that is found in Japan. Finally, I think you can use Japanese onibasu lotus or onibasu lotus (or both) to fit into your translation. |
