Euryale ferox
is an annual aquatic herbaceous plant in the Nymphaeaceae family. It
extends petioles from rhizomes at the bottom of the water and
spreads gigantic leaves on the water's surface in the summertime.
The leaves have distinctive irregular waves borne on the characters,
and the prickles are unusually rough. The prickles are especially
prominent on the sepals. Purple flowers, 4cm in diameter, bloom in
summer on the water upwards; buds often penetrate the leaves to
flower on them. Bloom time: August-October. |
