Hi,

Can you please help me ID this plant?

________________________

Date/Time- 20th May 2021

Location- Reni Pani Village, Near Satpura National Park, Madhya Pradesh

Habitat- Cultivated

Plant Habit- Aquatic floating leaved plant.

We had found this plant in the wild first and then planted it in our pond. The flowers are dark pink and usually open till noon. The leaves appear to be slightly crinkled and have a reddish tone to them.

Thanks,

Arjun

Check for Nelumbo nucifera. It is not possible to visualise the floral parts ! Post a clear picture of the flowers for proper ID.

No way Mahadeswara Ji,

damn sure it's Nymphaea only, not Nelumbo,

need to conform with stamens either rubra or pubescens,

With regards.

Thanks Mahadeswara Ji, I agree this is definitely not Nelumbo nucifera. This does seem more like Nymphaea Rubra to me, as I read the description for it on Flowers of India and it does flower all year round, unlike Pubescens. Will try and get a better picture for this and share it.

Best,

Arjun
