Nuphar microphylla is a perennial, [2] rhizomatous, aquatic [3] herb [4] found in North America. It is listed as a special concern and believed extirpated in Connecticut. [5]
Nuphar microphylla is a perennial, [2] rhizomatous, aquatic [3] herb [4] with 1–2 cm wide rhizomes. [6] The ovate [7] to broadly elliptic, 3.5–10(–13) cm long, and 3.5–7.5(–8.5) cm wide floating leaves [6] have a deep sinus. [8] [6] The abaxial leaf surface is often purple. [9] [8] The leaf venation is pinnate. [10]
The small, [11] yellow to green, [7] 1–2 cm wide flowers [6] float on the water surface. [10] The red stigmatic disks are 2.5–7 mm wide. [6]
The chromosome count is 2n = 34. [6]
It was first published as Nymphaea microphyllaPers. by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1806. [12] [13] It was placed into the genus NupharSm. as Nuphar microphylla(Pers.) Fernald published by Merritt Lyndon Fernald in 1917. [14] [3] It is placed in the section Nuphar sect. Nuphar. [4] It is a parent species of the natural hybrid Nuphar × rubrodisca Morong. [4]
The specific epithet microphylla means small-leaved. [15] [16]
It is endangered in the US-american states Pennsylvania, [8] Michigan, [7] Massachusetts, [17] [10] and New Hampshire. [17] It is susceptible to pollution, [7] e.g., by herbicides meant to combat invasive weeds. It is also threatened by invasive plants. [10]
Nymphaeaceae is a family of flowering plants, commonly called water lilies. They live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate and tropical climates around the world. The family contains five genera with about 70 known species. Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on or rising from the surface. Leaves are oval and heart-shaped in Barclaya. Leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria and Euryale.
Crinum is a genus of about 180 species of perennial plants that have large showy flowers on leafless stems, and develop from bulbs. They are found in seasonally moist areas, including marshes, swamps, depressions and along the sides of streams and lakes in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide.
Nymphaea is a genus of hardy and tender aquatic plants in the family Nymphaeaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution. Many species are cultivated as ornamental plants, and many cultivars have been bred. Some taxa occur as introduced species where they are not native, and some are weeds. Plants of the genus are known commonly as water lilies, or waterlilies in the United Kingdom. The genus name is from the Greek νυμφαία, nymphaia and the Latin nymphaea, which means "water lily" and were inspired by the nymphs of Greek and Latin mythology.
Nymphaea alba, the white waterlily, European white water lily or white nenuphar, is an aquatic flowering plant in the family Nymphaeaceae. It is native to North Africa, temperate Asia, Europe and tropical Asia.
Nuphar is a genus of aquatic plants in the family Nymphaeaceae, with a temperate to subarctic Northern Hemisphere distribution. Common names include water-lily, pond-lily, alligator-bonnet or bonnet lily, and spatterdock.
Nuphar lutea, the yellow water-lily, brandy-bottle, or spadderdock, is an aquatic plant of the family Nymphaeaceae, native to northern temperate and some subtropical regions of Europe, northwest Africa, and western Asia. This species was used as a food source and in medicinal practices from prehistoric times with potential research and medical applications going forward.
Nymphaea mexicana is a species of aquatic plant that is native to the Southern United States and Mexico as far south as Michoacán. Common names include yellow water lily, Mexican water lily and banana water lily.
Nuphar variegata is a plant in the water lily family, Nymphaeaceae. It is native to much of Canada and the northernmost of the United States.
Nymphaea macrosperma is an annual or perennial, aquatic, rhizomatous herb in the family Nymphaeaceae native to Australia and New Guinea.
Nuphar pumila, the least water-lily or small yellow pond-lily, is an aquatic perennial plant in the Nymphaeaceae family. It is also known as the dwarf water lily since it looks like a smaller Nuphar lutea. while Nuphar pumila has a star-shaped, or lobed form of the stigma disc and glabrous leaf undersides, Nuphar lutea has a round stigma disc and the undersides of its leaves are occasionally fine-haired on the midribs. Its flowers bloom from July to August and are typically pollinated by flies.
Euryale is a genus of flowering plants of the family Nymphaeaceae.
Nymphaea tetragona is an aquatic perennial, species of flowering plant commonly called pygmy waterlily and small white water lily, belonging to the family Nymphaeaceae.
