Nuphar ozarkana is a species of aquatic plant native to the US-American states Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. [1]
Nuphar ozarkana is an aquatic species with a slender rhizome. The leaves mostly float, but they can also be erect. The petiolate, orbicular to oblong, smooth, glabrous, yellowish green leaves are 12-20 cm long, and 7-19 cm wide. The terete, glabrous petioles are 3-11 mm wide. [2]
The pedunculate, yellow, 30 mm wide flowers have stout, glabrous peduncles. The thin, glabrous sepals are green, but display display yellow colouration towards the apex. The smooth, subglobose, 15-25 mm long, and 14-20 mm wide fruit bears 15-30 ovoid, shiny, pale brown 5 mm long, and 3.5 mm wide seeds. [2] The flowers are not fragrant. [3]
This species has an outstandingly low number of seeds per fruit. [2]
It was first described as Nymphaea ozarkana G.S.Mill. & Standl. by Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. and Paul Carpenter Standley in 1912. Later, it was included in the genus Nuphar Sm. as Nuphar ozarkana (G.S.Mill. & Standl.) Standl. published by Paul Carpenter Standley in 1931. [1]
The type specimen was collected by Otto M. Smith along White River in Southern Missouri in August 1910. [2]
The specific epithet ozarkana references the Ozarks region. [4]
It is pollinated by Lasioglossum nelumbonis , Lasioglossum bruneri , and Augochlora pura , which together make up 97% of all floral visitors. [3]
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 emergent from the surface. Leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria and Euryale.
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 mean "water lily" and were inspired by the nymphs of Greek and Latin mythology.
