Nuphar × porphyranthera occurs in Great Britain [1] |
Nuphar × porphyranthera is a species of rhizomatous aquatic plant native to Great Britain. It is a hybrid of Nuphar lutea and Nuphar advena. [1]
Nuphar × porphyranthera is an aquatic plant with predominantly emerging leaves. [2]
The flowers have 5-6 sepals. The yellow filaments are 4.1–9.9 mm long. The sterile, purple or yellow anthers are 5–11 mm long. The fruit does not develop. [2]
The hybrid is sterile. [2]
It was first described by Lansdown & Ruhsam in 2022. [1]
Hybridisation occurred after introduction of the non-native Nuphar advena to Great Britain. It hybridised with the native species Nuphar lutea and formed the new hybrid Nuphar × porphyranthera. [2]
The type specimen was collected from a shaded former gravel pit beneath trees in Ferry Lane, Shepperton, Middlesex, United Kingdom. [2] [3]
It occurs in ornamental ponds, and in a gravel pit. [2] It doesn't appear to spread into new habitats. [4]
