Nymphaeaceae
Nymphaeaceae () is a family of flowering plants, commonly called water lilies. They live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate climate, 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 (plant), Victoria'' and ''Euryale ferox, Euryale''. Water lilies are a well-studied family of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants. Later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. Analyses of floral morphology and molecular characteristics and comparisons with a sister taxon, the family Cabombaceae, indicate, h ...

Nymphaea
''Nymphaea'' () is a genus of hardiness (plants), 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 language, Greek νυμφαία, ''nymphaia'' and the Latin ''nymphaea'', which means "water lily" and were inspired by the nymphs of Greek mythology, Greek and Roman mythology, Latin mythology. Description Vegetative characteristics Water lilies are aquatic, rhizomatous or tuberous, perennial or annual herbs with sometimes desiccation-tolerant, branched or unbranched rhizomes, which can be stoloniferous, or lacking stolons. The tuberous or fibrous roots are contractile. The leaves are mostly floating, but submerged and emergent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Allenbya (plant)
''Allenbya'' is an extinct genus of Nymphaeaceae, water lilies in the family Nymphaeaceae containing a monotypic, single species ''Allenbya collinsonae''. The species is known from permineralized remains recovered from the Early Eocene Princeton Chert in British Columbia, Canada. Distribution ''Allenbya collinsonae'' is known exclusively from the Princeton Chert, a fossil locality in British Columbia, Canada, that contains an anatomically preserved flora of Eocene Epoch (geology), Epoch age, with rich species abundance and diversity. The chert is located in exposures of the Allenby Formation on the east bank of the Similkameen River, south of the town of Princeton, British Columbia. Notable in conjunction with the coal seams of the Allenby Formation are sections of chert which formed during silica-rich periods. The rapid cyclical changes from coal to chert and back are not noted in any other fossil locality in the world. An estimated 49 coal/chert cycles are known and the ti ...
