Title
The Latin name of the genus comes from the Greek. Νυμφαία - “ nymph ”, probably associated with the word Νύμφη , meaning “ pupa ”.
Often a water lily is mistakenly called a small egg ; while a white water lily is called a water lily .
Economic Significance and Application
Water lilies form thick creeping rhizomes rich in starch underwater at the bottom. These rhizomes can be raw materials for the preparation of flour and starch. The tannins are removed from them by soaking the cut rhizomes or flour obtained from them in water. Toasted water lily seeds can serve as a substitute for coffee [5] .

In Culture
According to A. Marchenko, a collector of nymphs, among dwarf nymphs used in small ponds, there are no problem-free varieties when grown in central Russia. Among medium sized nymphs for cultivation in the Moscow Region, the following are recommended [9] :
- 'Laydekeri Lilacea' (red flowers)
- 'Perry's Baby Red' (red flowers)
- 'Perry's Double White' (white flowers)
- 'Laydekeri Alba' (flowers are white, reproduces poorly)
- 'White Sensation' (white flowers, characterized by rapid growth)
- `Peter Slocum` (pink flowers, characterized by rapid growth)
- 'Marliacea Albida' (white flowers, characterized by rapid growth)
- 'Fabiola' (white flowers, characterized by rapid growth)
In contrast to the USA and Europe, in the middle zone of Russia, nymphs are recommended to be placed in the summer on smaller, and in the winter in deeper places of water bodies [9] .
