Description
A description of Nuphar advena is provided in The Flora of North America.
Its leaves are 7-30 cm wide, 1.5x long as wide, and rounded lobes. Additionally, the lower leaf surface is glabrous to sparsely pubescent. Any floating leaves have terete petioles and blades that are 1-2× as long as wide. The sepals are red or maroon, while the fruit is green or yellow.[1]
Distribution
N. advena ranges from Maine to Wisconsin, then south to Florida, Cuba, Texas, and northern Mexico.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
N. advena is an aquatic perennial that requires protection from strong current.[2] In the Coastal Plain in Florida, it has been observed growing in ponds of pine-oak forests, ditch ponds, and still river water. Associated species include Brasenia and Nymphaea.[3]
Phenology
This species flowers in May[4] through November and fruits in September.[3]
Typical N. advena fruits are green with green stigmatic disks, anthers, sepals and fruit walls; however, Padgett (1996) reports of a population in southeastern Virginia having red fruit walls. Characteristically this species lacks red pigmentation.
In areas of sympatry, it can intergrade with N. orbiculata, N. variegata, N. ulvacea, and N. sagittifolia.[5]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera species were observed visiting flowers of Nuphar advena at the Archbold Biological Station:[6]
Bees from the family Apidae: Apis mellifera
Plasterer bees from the family Colletidae: Hylaeus schwarzi
Sweat bees from the family Halictidae: Lasioglossum nelumbonis
Herbivory and toxicology
N. advena is a food source to some turtles: Chelydra serpentine (snapping turtle), Chrysemys picta (painted turtle), and Stenotherus odoratus (musk turtle).[5] Muskrats and beavers have also been observed to eat the plant, especially the rhizomes and lower petioles.[5]
