Ultrahydrophobicity
Lotus leaves - Nelumbo nucifera
The lotus large leaves have self-cleaning properties that are a result of ultrahydrophobicity.
Dirt particles are picked up by water droplets due to the micro- and nanoscopic architecture on the surface, which minimizes the droplet's adhesion to that surface.
