Nymphaea tetragona, Georgi (C. tetragona, Lawson. N. pygmaea, Ait.). Fig. 2553. Lvs. horseshoe-shape, entire, the lobes diverging, slightly produced and sub- acute, dark green above, inclined to brown blotching, reddish beneath, 3-4 in. across: fls. 1½-2½ in. across, open on 3 or 4 days from noon until 5 P.M..; base of fl. square; petals 13-17; stamens about 40, yellow. E. Siberia, China and Japan; also in N.Idaho and Ont. B.M. 1525. G.F. 9:134 (adapted in Fig. 2553).—The smallest nymphea in cult.; free bloomer; makes no side-shoots from the single crown, but grows readily from seed. Seed next to the largest of the genus. N.fennica, Mela, is a form from Finland, and is offered by M. P. Andersen, Jonkoping, Sweden. It runs into purple-fld. varieties. Similar to N. tetragona and probably not botanically distinct. Requires cold water. N. vomerenae is a small white water-lily, said to be N. alba x N. tetragona. N. orientalis, is a miniature plant with shining coppery green Lvs. Japan. N. himalayensis, is smaller than the type. Himalayas.
