Nuphar lutea subsp. advena

Nuphar advena (spatterdock or cow lily or yellow pond-lily) is a species of Nuphar native throughout the eastern United States and in some parts of Canada, such as Nova Scotia.[2][3] It is similar to the Eurasian species N. lutea, and is treated as a subspecies of it by some botanists,[4] though differing significantly in genetics.[2]

It is locally naturalized in Britain.[5]

Cytology

[edit]

The chromosome count is 2n = 34.[6] The chloroplast genome is 160866 bp long.[7]

Conservation

[edit]

The NatureServe conservation status is T5 Secure.[1]

Uses

[edit]

Spatterdock was long used in traditional medicine, with the root applied to the skin and/or both the root and seeds eaten for a variety of conditions. The seeds are edible, and can be ground into flour. The root is edible too, but can prove to be incredibly bitter in some plants.[8]
