Nuphar pumila subsp. sinensis is a subspecies of Nuphar pumila native to China. [2] [1]
It is a small plant [2] with 1–3 cm wide rhizomes. [2] [3] The green, elliptic to ovate floating leaf [2] [4] is 9.3–15.5(–17) cm long, and 6.9–12.3 cm wide. [4] The abaxial leaf surface is glabrous to densely pubescent. [4] [2] The compressed petiole [2] is 40 cm long, [3] and 3–5 mm wide. [2] [4]
The 2–4.5(–6) cm wide flower [3] [4] has a 3.5–5 mm wide peduncle. [2] The 5 [2] yellow, oblong to obovate sepals [3] with an rounded apex [2] are up to 2.5 cm long. [3] The yellow, thin, spatulate to emarginate petals [2] are 7 mm long. [3] The stamens have 3.5–6 mm long anthers. [2] The gynoecium consists of 8–13 carpels. [2] [3] The green stigmatic disk is 5–6 mm wide. [4] The urceolate, green, [2] 2–2.7 cm long, and 1.5–2 cm wide fruit bears brown, [4] ovate, [2] 3 mm long seeds. [4]
It was first published as Nuphar sinensis Hand.-Mazz. by Heinrich Raphael Eduard Handel-Mazzetti in 1926. It was included in the species Nuphar pumila (Timm) DC. as Nuphar pumila subsp. sinensis (Hand.-Mazz.) Padgett published by Donald Jay Padgett in 1999 [1] [5] based on morphological similarities. [6] It is placed in the section Nuphar sect. Nuphar. [2]
The subspecific epithet sinensis means "from China". [7]
It occurs in ponds, [4] [3] lakes, and bogs [4] in the warm-temperate region of southeastern China. [2] [4]
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.
