Euryale is a genus of flowering plants of the family Nymphaeaceae. [1]
Euryale is an annual or perennial, rhizomatous, aquatic herb with erect, unbranched rhizomes. [8] The adaxial leaf surface is green, and features prickles at the veins. The abaxial leaf surface is violet and displays prominent, prickly venation. [9]
The pedunculate, 5 cm wide flowers have prickly peduncles and sepals. [10] The stigma has 8-9 stigmatic rays. The prickly fruit bears black, [9] smooth, arillate, [8] globose, 6-10 mm wide seeds. [10]
It was published by Richard Anthony Salisbury in 1805. [1]
It has one extant species: [1]
And several fossil species:
The chromosome count of Euryale ferox is 2n = 58. [11]
It occurs in ponds, lakes, [12] rice fields, and marshes. [9]
Euryale is found in the area that stretches from Northern India to the Russian Far East and extends into temperate East Asia. [1] Recently, it has also been recorded in Serbia, Europe. It was likely dispersed to Serbia through migrating birds. [13]
The IUCN conservation status of Euryale ferox is least concern (LC). [12]
Euryale seeds and prickles are well preserved in the fossil record. [14] Today, Euryale only occurs in the region spanning from Northern India to the Russian Far East, and extends to temperate East Asia. [1] But in the Pliocene period it also occurred in central Europe. [15]
