{{Inc|
Nymphaea tuberosa, Paine (C. tuberosa, Greene. N. reniformis, Walt.?). Numerous slenderly attached and spontaneously separating tubers, 1—3 in. long on the rhizome: Lvs. when floating less coriaceous than in No. 17, and more veiny above; petioles marked with longitudinal brown stripes; no purple or red color about Lvs. or sepals: fls. 4-9 in. across, pure white, open 3 or 4 days from 8 A.M. to 1 P.M.; petals broad, concave; seeds large (.44 cm. long). N. Cent. U. S.—A luxuriant grower; when crowded or in shallow water the Lvs. and fls. rise 4-6 in. above the water; spreads rapidly by tubers. Moderate bloomer. Garden forms are N. tuberosa robusta and Helen Fowler. Var. Richardsonii ( - var. plena) has many more petals than the type. Var. maxima (N. odorata maxima, Hort.) is a form with round Lvs. and closed sinus, the lobes curved out at the apex to a short point; petioles pubescent, with long hairs, with a few faint longitudinal brown stripes: fls. medium to large, pure white, somewhat cup-shaped. Lake Hopatkong, N. J.—Rather smaller than the type; possibly N. tuberosa x N. odorata. A diminutive form of N. tuberosa occurs near Trenton, N. J.
