Description

It is an aquatic herb [3] with globose, 8mm long, and 8 mm wide seeds. [4] The testa has nodules. [4] [3]

Taxonomy

It was first published as Euryale nodulosaC. Reid, E. Reid by Clement Reid and Eleanor Mary Reid in 1915. [4] It has been proposed to place it in a separate genus PseudoeuryaleP.I. Dorof. as Pseudoeuryale nodulosa(C. Reid, E. Reid) A.G. Negru published by Andrei Grigorievich Negru in 1979. [5] It has also been viewed as a synonym of Euryale europaea by Kirchheimer, [2] [6] which was rejected by Martinetto. [2]

Distribution

It occurred in the Netherlands, [7] [4] and in Italy. [2] [8] [7]
