Nymphaea loriana is endemic to Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, Canada [3] |
Nymphaea loriana is a species of waterlily endemic to Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, Canada. [3]
Nymphaea loriana has branching, 2 cm wide rhizomes. The membranous submerged leaves are 8-10 cm long, and 8-12 cm wide. The suborbicular to ovate-elliptic, 10–21 cm long, and 8-18 cm wide floating leaves have a papery texture. The adaxial leaf surface is green, and the abaxial leaf surface is bright green with occasional purple colouration. [4]
The 7.5–10 cm wide flowers have four sepals, and 12–21 petals. The androecium consists of 33–48 yellow stamens. The gynoecium consists of 8–11 carpels. The 2-2.5 cm wide fruits with coiled peduncles bear 3.5-4 mm long, 2.5-3 mm wide, arillate, greenish-brown, ovoid, smooth seeds. [4]
Despite being of hybrid origin, Nymphaea loriana is fertile. [4]
It was first described by John Harry Wiersema, Carl Barre Hellquist, and Thomas Borsch in 2014. [3]
The type specimen was collected by John Harry Wiersema, Carl Barre Hellquist, and Thomas Borsch in Egg Lake, south of Cumberland House, Saskatchewa, Canada on the 18th of August 2000. [4]
It is placed in Nymphaea subgenus Nymphaea. [4]
Nymphaea loriana is of hybrid origin. [5] [4]
The specific epithet loriana refers to Lori Wittlake Wiersema (1958–2013), the wife of John Harry Wiersema. [4]
The IUCN conservation status is endangered (EN). [1] The NatureServe conservation status is Critically Imperiled (G1). [2]
Nymphaea loriana is found in lakes, ponds, marshes, or streams with clear, stagnant, or gently flowing water at depths of 1.5–2 meters. [4] It requires clear water. [6]
