Nymphaea ovalifolia. (After No. 4.) The plant called Nymphaea ovalifolia, as intro. into gardens in 1916, is from newly imported African seed, and was first raised by E. T. Harvey, of Cincinnati. It is not the true N. ovalifolia, Conard. The new plant has more oval lvs. than N. caerulea, and larger and paler fls. It is to be regarded as a form of N. caerulea, deserving a personal name rather than a Latin name. In 1908 Gilg of Berlin described 6 new species of African water-lilies, all allied to N. caerulea. The new form here mentioned falls between N. magnifica and N. spectabilis of Gilg, having certain characteristics of both species.—The plant is "a prodigious grower, the lf .-stalks extending 10 or more ft. The fl. is "a rich cream color tipped with blue at the end of the petals." (Quotations from letters from Mr. Harvey.) Petals 20; stamens 92; carpels 21; sepals thickly marked outside with black lines and dots. Fl. 6-8 in. across. (Data from specimens furnished by Mr. Harvey.)<br />
<br />
N. ovalifolia, Conard, Monogr. Nymph, 150, is from German E. Afr., apparently not in cult. Lvs. narrowly elliptic, with large irregular brown blotches above but plain green beneath: fls. deep blue, closed in dull weather.<br />
