Nymphaea mexicana, Zucc. (C. mexicana, Coulter. N. flava, Leitner). Floating Lvs. ovate, margin obscurely and finely sinuate, dark green above, beautifully blotched with brown; under surface dark crimson-brown, with small blackish dots; when crowded the Lvs. rise 3-5 in. above the water, are orbicular, cup-shaped by overlapping of the straight sinus-margins, entire, 3-5 in. across, dark green and shining above, under surface bright green, with fine purplish brown mottlings: fls. 4 in. across, raised 4-5 in. above the water, bright canary- yellow, open from 11 A.M. to 4 P.M.; petals 23, grading in size and shape insensibly into the stamens, which are about 50, light golden yellow: rhizome erect, tuber-like, discoid, plane beneath, 3-5 in. diam.; runners terete, lain, thick, white, rooting at the tip and sending up Lvs.; the young plant flowers in a few weeks and again sends out runners. Fla., Mex. B.M. 6917. Gn. 23:334; 27, p. 439; 52:445.—Hardy as far north as New York "in 2 ft. of water, covered with boards and a few leaves." Mexican stock is stronger and blooms more freely than that from Fla. Rose considers them distinct species.
