Name: Nymphaea odorata - Nuphar (microphylla, variegata) Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This water-lily aquatic wetland type occurs throughout the upper midwestern region of the United States and adjacent Canada. Stands occur in open, slow-moving water on lakes and streams, often less than 0.5 m deep. The substrate is variable, from muck to sedimentary peat. Emergent vegetation cover is less than 25% and floating-leaved aquatics cover at least 25% of the surface. Typical dominants vary from stand to stand but include <i>Nymphaea odorata, Nuphar microphylla (= Nuphar lutea ssp. pumila)</i>, and <i>Nuphar variegata (= Nuphar lutea ssp. variegata)</i>. Other dominants may include <i>Brasenia schreberi</i> and <i>Potamogeton amplifolius</i>. A variety of emergent species can occur in this community.
