Nuphar lutea subsp. advena

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. [1] [2] It is similar to the Eurasian species N. lutea , and is treated as a subspecies of it by some botanists, [3] though differing significantly in genetics. [1]

It is locally naturalized in Britain. [4]

Uses

Spatterdock was long used in traditional medicine, with the root applied to the skin and/or both the root and seeds eaten for a variety of conditions. The seeds are edible, and can be ground into flour. The root is edible too, but can prove to be incredibly bitter in some plants. [5]
