In the growing process of lotus leaf, the special distribution of submillimeter papillae on the leaf surface generates anisotropic deflection and induces the leaf edge to warp asymmetrically. These effects shift the center of gravity and slant the leaf and guides the water and pollution away the surface by the gravity.
