Description

Common name: Water lily, Tharo (Manipuri), Kumud कुमुद (Hindi), Aambal (Malayalam), Saluk or Saluka साळुक (Konkani), {Kaluva కలువ or కలవ, toga తొగ, Tova తొవ, kuvalayamu కువలయము, sārasamu సారసము (Telugu)}, kalharpushpam कल्हारपुष्पम् (Kashmiri), koyakamala कोयकमळ (Marathi), (Sanskrit), {kamala কমল sun̐di সুঁদি (Bengali)}, {cengkaẕunīr செங்கழுநீர், periyāmpal பெரியாம்பல் (Tamil)}

Botanical name: Nymphaea sp. - [ (NIM-fee-uh) or (nim-FAY-uh) water goddess in Greek mythology ] Family: Nymphaeaceae (waterlily or water-lily family) - [ (NIM-fee-uh-see-ay) or (nim-FAY-uh-see-ay) family named for the genus nymphaea, the waterlily family ]


Nymphaea is a genus of aquatic plants in the family Nymphaeaceae. The common name, shared with some other genera in the same family, is water-lily or waterlily. Nymphaea leaves have a radial notch from the circumference to the petiole (leaf stem) in the center. There are about 50 species in the genus, which has a cosmopolitan distribution.

The genus is closely related to Nuphar, differing in the petals being much larger than the sepals, whereas in Nuphar, the petals are much smaller than the 4-6 yellow-coloured sepals. The fruit maturation also differs, with Nymphaea fruit sinking below the water level immediately after the flower closes, whereas Nuphar fruit are held above water level to maturity.
