Scientific Name | Common Name | Summary |
---|---|---|
Nuphar polysepala | Yellow Pond-lily | Common aquatic plant of shallow lake margins and bog ponds with round floating leaves and large showy yellow flowers. A few collections spanning the full region, though significant gaps (presumably due to lack of collecting effort rather than absence). |
Nymphaea odorata | Fragrant Waterlily | Known from a single pond in Indian River valley. There is evidence to suggest that its presence is due to a planting by E. W. Merrill in the early 1900s. |
Nymphaea tetragona | Pygmy Waterlily | Only two collections from the region in ARCTOS, both from the southern portion on islands near the mainland. |
