Nuphar advena (spatterdock or cow lily or yellow pond-lily) is a species of Nuphar native throughout the eastern United States and in some parts of Canada, such as Nova Scotia, [3] [4] as well as Mexico and Cuba. [5] [2] It is locally naturalized in Britain. [5]

Vegetative characteristics

Nuphar advena is a perennial, aquatic herb [5] with 5–10 cm wide, [3] spongy rhizomes. [6] The leaves are emergent, [7] [8] floating, or submersed, [8] but most leaves are emergent. [9] The submerged leaves are 12–40 cm long, and 7–30 cm wide. [10]

Generative characteristics

The protogynous, fragrant, nectariferous, [11] solitary, [8] [6] yellow-green, [8] up to 4 cm wide flowers [3] float on the water surface, or extend beyond it. [8] The flowers have six sepals. [9] [3] The gynoecium consists of 9–23 carpels. [3] The fleshy, [10] ovoid to broadly obovate, [9] ribbed, green, 2–5 cm long, and 2–5 cm wide fruit [3] bears 186–353 [11] 3-6 mm long seeds. [3]

Taxonomy

It was first published as Nymphaea advenaAiton by William Aiton in 1789. [12] [2] [13] It was placed into the genus NupharSm. as Nuphar advena(Aiton) W.T.Aiton published by William Townsend Aiton in 1811. [14] [15] It is placed in the section Nuphar sect. Astylus. [16]

Natural hybridisation

In the United Kingdom, it has hybridised with Nuphar lutea, resulting in the hybrid Nuphar × porphyranthera. [9] [17]

Etymology

The specific epithet advena means immigrant, [18] [10] outsider, foreigner, or stranger. [19]

Cytology

The chromosome count is 2n = 34. [20] The chloroplast genome is 160866 bp long. [21]

Distribution

It is native to Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Cuba. [2] It has been introduced to the United Kingdom. [5]

Conservation

The NatureServe conservation status is T5 Secure. [1]

Ecology

Habitat

It occurs in ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, [7] marshes, and swamps. [8]

Herbivory

The seeds are eaten by turtles and waterfowl. [8]

Pollination

The flowers are pollinated by sweat bees, syrphid flies, and leaf beetles. [11]

Uses

Horticulture

It is cultivated as an ornamental plant. [22]

Food

It is used as food. [23] [24] [10] The seeds are eaten or ground to flour. [23] [24]
