Nuphar variegata (variegated pond-lily) is a plant in the water lily family, Nymphaeaceae. It is native to much of Canada and the northernmost United States.[1][2]
[edit] Description
Nuphar variegata is an aquatic plant with alternate, simple leaves, on submerged stems. The leaves tend to float on the surface of the water, rather than emerge above as in other Canadian species of Nuphar. The flowers are yellow, borne in summer.
