-'''Nelumbonaceae''', sometimes called the [[sacred lotus]] family, is a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]], including the single genus ''[[Nelumbo]]'' with two species, ''N. lutea'' (North America) and ''N. nucifera''<ref>https://plants.usda.gov/java/ClassificationServlet?source=display&classid=NELUM</ref> (widespread in tropical Asia).
-While in the past, members of the family have been included in the waterlily family, [[Nymphaeaceae]], it is now widely accepted, following molecular studies, that the Nelumbonaceae are actually an example of convergent evolution and are highly modified eudicots belonging to the [[Order (biology)|order]] [[Proteales]], their closest living relatives being the [[Platanaceae|plane trees]] (Platanaceae) and [[Proteaceae]].<ref>Stevens, P.F.

-The family consists of [[aquatic plant]]s, extant ''Nelumbo'' are native to North America and Asia (and perhaps some adjacent areas, but widely cultivated).  At least four other genera, ''[[Nelumbites]]'', ''[[Exnelumbites]]'', ''[[Paleonelumbo]]'', and ''[[Nelumbago]]'',<ref name="EstradaR">{{citation |title=Comparative Morphology of Fossil and Extant Leaves of Nelumbonaceae, Including a New Genus from the Late Cretaceous of Western North America |last1=Estrada-Ruiz |first1=Emilio |last2=Upchurch Jr. |first2=G.R. |last3=Wolfe |first3=J.A. |last4=Cevallos-Ferriz |first4=S.R.S. |journal=Systematic Botany |year=2011 |volume=36 |issue=2 |pages=337–351 |doi=10.1600/036364411X569525}}</ref> are known from fossils.
-The [[Cronquist system]], of 1981, also recognized this family, but placed it in order [[Nymphaeales]] in subclass Magnoliidae in class Magnoliopsida (=dicotyledons), based on gross morphological similarities. The [[Dahlgren system]] and [[Thorne system (1992)]] also recognized this family and placed it in its own order [[Nelumbonales]] in superorder Magnolianae in subclass Magnoliidae (=dicotyledons).
