'''''Nuphar''''' is genus of [[aquatic plant]]s in the family [[Nymphaeaceae]], with a temperate [[Northern Hemisphere]] distribution. The common name, shared with some other genera in the same family, is '''water lily''' or '''waterlily'''. There are from 1 to 25 [[species]] in the [[genus]]. Some [[botanist]]s<ref>{{cite journal | first=E. O. | last=Beal | year=1956 | title=Taxonomic revision of the genus ''Nuphar'' Sm. of North America and Europe | journal=Journal of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society | volume=72 | pages=317–346 }}</ref> treat the genus as just a single variable species (for which the European name ''[[Nuphar lutea|N. lutea]]'' has priority), but 10-12 species are typically accepted by most authorities. Recent molecular work has shown that there is some difference between the European and American species.<ref>{{cite journal | year=1997 | title = Nymphaeaceae | last = Wiersema | first = John H. | coauthors = C. Barre Hellquist | url=http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=122531 | journal = Flora of North America | volume =3 }}</ref> The genus is closely related to ''[[Nymphaea]]'' (named after the [[Ancient Greek language|Greek]] term "Νυμφαία", possibly related to "Νύμφη" meaning [[nymph]]). ''Nuphar'' differs in having its [[petal]]s being much smaller than its 4-6 bright yellow-coloured [[sepal]]s, whereas in ''Nymphaea'', the petals are much larger than the sepals. The [[fruit]] maturation also differs, with ''Nuphar'' fruit being held above water level to maturity, whereas ''Nymphaea'' fruit sink below the water level immediately after the flower closes. Both genera share [[Leaf|leaves]] with a radial notch from the circumference to the [[Petiole (botany)|petiole]] (leaf stem) in the center. {{Inc| Nuphar (from the Arabic). Nymphaea of some authors. Nymphaeaceae, Spatter-dock. Yellow PondLily. Several aquatic plants of the North Temperate Zone, with stout rootstocks creeping in the mud. Leaves large, cordate-ovate or sagittate, some of which may be submerged and others either floating or standing erect above the water: fls. usually standing above the water, yellow or purplish, single on the scapes, the 5 or more large concave sepals constituting the showy part of the fl.; petals mostly numerous, small and simulating stamens, the latter numerous and short; ovary short, globular-ovoid, with 8-24 stigmas forming rays on its top: fr. an emersed caps.—Most of the nuphars are N. American. They grow in stagnant pools or on the margins of slow - running mud- bottom streams. Several species have been offered by dealers, but most of them have small value for the cultivator, although the foliage effects of N. advena may be striking.
