Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea,[1][a] is a water lily in the genus Nymphaea, a botanical variety of Nymphaea nouchali.

It is an aquatic plant of freshwater lakes, pools and rivers, naturally found throughout most of the eastern half of Africa, as well as parts of southern Arabia, but has also been spread to other regions as an ornamental plant. It was grown by the Ancient Egyptian civilization and had significance in their religion.

It can tolerate the roots being in anoxic mud in nutritionally poor conditions, and can become a dominant plant in deeper water in such habitats. It is associated with a species of snail, which is one of the main hosts of the pathogen causing human schistosomiasis. The underwater rhizomes are edible.

Nymphaea caerulea, first described by Marie Jules César Savigny in 1798, was later classified as a variety of Nymphaea nouchali by Bernard Verdcourt in 1989. Though it is still most commonly referred to as a variety of Nymphaea nouchali, recent phylogenetic studies have problematized the taxonomy. When defined taxonomically as Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea, it is considered synonymous with Nymphaea capensis.[4]

Description

[edit]

This is an aquatic (euhydrophyte) herb with a tuberous rhizome.[10] That is to say, it has small tubers that may develop into short vertical rhizomes. It is a perennial.[11] One plant can spread over an area of about 1 metre.[4]

The peltate leaves have long petioles and have leaf blades (lamina) which are 8–35 cm (3–14 in) by 7.5–42 cm (3–17 in)cm in size.[10] The leaves are polymorphic, changing in form and texture depending if they are underwater or floating.[6] These laminae have a chartaceous texture and can be glabrous or densely covered in pubescent hairs. The shape is incised-cordate and orbicular or subelliptic, with an acute or caudate apex. The two lobes can overlap somewhat or be slightly apart from each other. The upper surface of the lamina is smooth, but the underside has conspicuously raised, green or rarely reddish or reddish-purple veins. There are eight to eleven primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib. There are six to eight pairs of secondary veins arising from the midrib. The primary veins form a pattern of closed, elongated areas stretching to more than two thirds of the way to the margin of the leaf. The leaf margin is entire towards the apex or more-or-less irregularly sinuate-lobulate throughout its entirety.[10] The petioles are thick, blackish green and spongy.[6] They continue to lengthen as they age, pushing older leaves towards the margins of the plant.[4]

Generative characteristics

[edit]

The flowers can be blue, white, mauve or pinkish in colour,[4][10] but are usually have pale bluish-white to sky-blue or mauve petals, smoothly changing to a pale yellow in the centre of the flower,[4] and are 8–12 cm (3–5 in) in diameter. There are four sepals; these are coloured green and sometimes purple at the margins, and are 4–10 cm (2–4 in) by 1.5–3.5 cm (1–1 in) in size. There are 14–20 petals, of which the outermost are as long as the sepals. Their shape is oblong, and their apexes end in blunt or subacute tips. The stamens are densely congested and very numerous, numbering 100–200 or more. The outermost stamens have long appendages. There are 14–24 carpels, with a very short style.[10] There are also carpellary appendages; these are what is known as 'osmophores', structures which serve to attract pollinators without actually rewarding them, thus by deceit. In this case they are visually attractive for bees and exude an odour mimicking food.[12]

The flower buds rise to the surface over a period of two to three days, and when ready, open during the mid-morning, closing near dusk. This ability is controlled by the sepals; when these are cut off, the flower loses the ability to close. The flowers and buds do not rise above the water in the morning, nor do they submerge at night. The flowers last some four days before they start to wither, closing up each night.[4][12]

The fruit are berries,[6][inconsistent] 2.2 by 3.2 cm and flattened-round in shape. The seeds are ellipsoid and 1.2 mm long.[10] They are smooth, and have a fleshy, bell-shaped aril.[6]

Chemical composition

[edit]

In the 1970s and 1980s William Emboden suggested that Nymphaea caerulea contained aporphine alkaloids (though photochemical studies were not performed); more recent photochemical analysis did not find aporohine alkaloids and the chemical composition of Nymphaea caerulea was discovered to include compounds such as 7-hydroxyflavone, 4,7-dihydroxyaurone, and 4’-hydroxyaurone, along with methyl vanillate and cinnamyl alcohol.[13]

Cytology

[edit]

The chromosome count is n = 14. The genome size is 567.24 Mb.[14]

Taxonomy

[edit]

Nymphaea spectabilis, a purple form known from cultivation, and N. capensis, found throughout eastern, central and southern Africa, as well as a number of other named taxa, were synonymised to N. nouchali var. caerulea in the 1989 addition to the Flora of Tropical East Africa (FTEA) series, a position which has generally been accepted,[1][4][15][16] although some of the authorities in Bangladesh[16] and in the United States disagree.[7][8][9]

In 2012 there was a phylogenetic study where N. caerulea was more related to N. gracilis, an endemic of northern Mexico, than it was to N. nouchali. The evolutionary tree was a consensus of ITS2 and matk. According to this study, N. caerulea should not be considered as a variety of N. nouchali.[17] When genomes from the water lily genus (Nymphaea) were published in the journal Nature in 2020, N. caerulea was cited under that name, not as N. nouchali var. caerulea.[18] Another phylogenetic study from 2021 found N. caerulea (as N. capensis) to be closest related to N. colorata, an east African species.[19]

Nymphaea nouchali is itself a taxonomically challenging species, with a distribution that spans Australia, throughout southern Asia,[20] across Africa to the Western Cape.[4] It has many colour forms (with red-coloured forms generally called N. stellata) and has a long history of cultivation.[4][15][20] In Africa, following the 1989 FTEA publication, five different varieties are recognised: var. caerulea, the most widespread, ovalifolia, in parts of tropical Southern Africa, petersiana, the same, zanzibarensis, from tropical southern, central and East Africa, and mutandaensis, which is an endemic of Uganda.[4] One of these taxa, var. petersiana, was found to be quite divergent in the 2012 study.[17] If the 2012 study is to be accepted, this may indicate that the African populations of N. nouchali belong to another species than the Asian and Australian type populations,[7][17] and should likely be renamed N. caerulea as this name has priority over N. capensis.

Publication

[edit]

It was first described as Nymphaea caerulea Savigny by Marie Jules César Savigny in 1798. Later, it was included in the species Nymphaea nouchali Burm.f. as the variety Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea (Savigny) Verdc. published by Bernard Verdcourt in 1989.[1]

Classification

[edit]

It is classified in the Nymphaea subgenus Brachyceras.[19][21][12] This subgenus appears to be phylogenetically sound.[19]


Distribution

[edit]

The native distribution covers North Africa along the Nile and south throughout central, East and Southern Africa.[1][2][3] It is common in this range.[4] The conservation status has not been evaluated by the IUCN,[6] but it is considered a species of 'least concern' by the South African National Biodiversity Institute in their Red List of South African Plants.[5]

On the African continent, it occurs, from north to south, westwards to at least Chad,[1][22] Congo-Brazzaville,[1] the DRC (only in Katanga?),[23][24] Angola[1] and Namibia.[1][22] In South Africa this plant is found in every province, as well as in eSwatini, but it is not native to Lesotho and the Western Cape.[5][4][22] It also occurs on islands off the eastern African coast: Zanzibar, Madagascar and the Comoro Islands.[10] It is native to Yemen[1][2] and Oman (in Dhofar) in the southern Arabian Peninsula[1] but, according to Moshe Agami in a 1980 paper, is thought to have become extinct in the wild in Israel.[2]

It has more recently been spread more widely around the world as an ornamental plant, and introduced populations are now found in Bangladesh,[1][3] Meghalaya, Kerala[6] and Assam in India,[1][6] Fiji, Mauritius, North Island in New Zealand, New South Wales and Queensland in Australia, Cook Islands, Costa Rica,[1] and throughout eastern South America (in Brazil and Argentina).[2][3]

There is an introduced population of blue water-lilies originally from East Africa in the US in the state of Florida. This was first identified as N. zanzibarensis, then as N. capensis var. zanzibarensis, but following the 1989 FTEA publication the taxon was moved to N. nouchali var. zanzibarensis. Nonetheless the 1997 addition to the Flora of North America series decided to retain recognition of the local population under the name N. capensis, and this population continues to be recognised under that name in the US.[7][8][9]

The naturalised populations in eastern Australia were also thought to be N. capensis var. zanzibarensis, then later N. caerulea var. zanzibarensis, then in 2011 N. capensis,[11][25] but the plants in the wild are now thought to be N. caerulea. It is considered an environmental weed in Australia.[25]

Ecology

[edit]

It has a habitat consisting of rivers, lakes and pools.[10] As of 1921, it has been found at elevations of 10–1,650 m (33–5,413 ft) in South Africa.[22]

Although in cultivation it is said to be quite demanding of nutrients,[4] in the quite nutrient-poor Lake Nabugabo in Uganda it is the dominant aquatic plant species, only being replaced by N. lotus in the eastern tip of the lake, and other aquatic genera where it is more shallow. The dense monospecific stands are associated with an Utricularia sp. and Nymphoides indica in one part of the lake, and with Ceratophyllum demersum in certain other bays.[26][27] The waterlily stands in this lake are especially poor in invertebrate biodiversity, which may reflect the low levels of dissolved oxygen near the sediments in this habitat.[28] In Lake Bisina, Uganda, N. caerulea is most clearly associated with Utricularia reflexa; this may be due to similar ecological niches, it may just mean the small, rootless, free-moving Utricularia simply get snagged on the petioles, but it may indicate some sort of a commensal relationship, with U. reflexa being shaded by the leaves of N. caerulea. Hydrilla verticillata is another plant which seems to sometimes occur together with the waterlily in this lake, as well as in Lake Bunyonyi.[29]

Pollination is entomophilous.[6] In Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, South Africa, the flowers are visited by honey bees.[30] In fact, the carpellary appendages in this type of water-lily appear to have evolved specifically to attract bee species in general. In a way, these waterlilies are parasites of the services of bees, attracting the insects by deceit, without actually rewarding them for their labours.[12] In India plants bloom and fruit from May to October.[6]

The fruit suddenly bursts when ripe, and the scattered seed float away.[inconsistent] The seed soon sinks.[4] Seeds often make it to the river's edge or lake shore, and can build up a significant seedbank here.[31] These seeds only germinate when heavy rains flood the banks, and they are submerged under a layer of water.[4][31] In cultivation, the plants take three to four years to flower from seed. In colder climates, the plants lose their leaves and go dormant during the winter, with the rhizomes remaining alive below the water.[4]

Gomphonema gracile is an epiphytic diatom found on N. caerulea in high elevation Lake Naivasha, Kenya.[32] In Kenya, N. caerulea is positively associated with the freshwater snail Biomphalaria pfeifferi, which is a main host of human schistosomiasis. The edible American crayfish Procambarus clarkii eliminates the mollusc, as well as feeding on the water-lily.[33] The crayfish was first introduced to Kenya in 1966 as a species with which to enhance the local fisheries.[34] In Lake Naivasha, N. caerulea was extremely common until the 1970s,[32] and there is still a seedbank around the shores of the lake. Procambarus clarkii was introduced to the lake in 1970, and now supports an annual harvest of a few thousand kilograms, but it may have been responsible for eliminating not only the water-lily in the main lake by 1983, but all native aquatic plant species in this water body. It is not the only potential culprit; invasive mats of exotic floating vegetation have also taken over the lake, two different commercially fishable fish species have been introduced, and the new fisheries upon these three species could all be responsible, or a combination.[31]

Uses

[edit]

The rootstock of the blue water lily was collected and eaten in western South Africa around 1800, either raw or in curries, in particular by the Cape Malays and farming communities in the Cape, although this practice has now died out.[4]

It has been suggested that it was used in ancient Egypt for religious rituals and sexual enhancement, due to the purported presence of apomorphine, which is also used today to treat erectile dysfunction.[35]

This lotus has been used to produce perfumes since ancient times; it is also used in aromatherapy.[citation needed] According to a multimodal analytical study, traces of Peganum harmala, and Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea were identified in an Egyptian ritual Bes-vase, of the 2nd century BCE.[36]

Cultivation

[edit]

It is grown as an ornamental plant for water gardens in tropical to subtropical regions around the world.[4][6] It is easy to grow in ponds in any part of Southern Africa, including the highveld, and is hardy to -1 °C.[4]

'Valentina's Pale Blue Eyes' is a registered cultivar of this species from 2018, bred in Italy partially from a clone known as 'Rwanda'.[21]

The Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania has had Nymphaea caerulea in their water lilly collection[37] since 1963.[38][39] with photos of a real Nymphaea caerulea posted on their social media as recent as 2019.[40][38]

Religion and art

[edit]

Along with the white lotus, Nymphaea lotus, also native to Egypt, the plant and flower are very frequently depicted in Ancient Egyptian art. They have been depicted in numerous stone carvings and paintings, including the walls of the temple of Karnak, and may be associated with rites pertaining to the afterlife.[citation needed] A number of pharaohs' mummies were covered with the petals of the flower. There are indications it was grown in special farms over 4,000 years ago to produce enough flowers for votive offerings, although it was apparently also simply grown as an ornamental in traditional Egyptian garden ponds.[4] N. caerulea was considered extremely significant in Egyptian mythology, regarded as a symbol of the sun, since the flowers are closed at night and open again in the morning. At Heliopolis, the origin of the world was taught to have been when the sun god Ra emerged from a lotus flower growing in "primordial waters". At night, he was believed to retreat into the flower again.[41] Due to its colour, it was identified, in some beliefs, as having been the original container, in a similar manner to an egg, of Atum, and in similar beliefs Ra, both solar deities. As such, its properties form the origin of the "lotus variant" of the Ogdoad cosmogony. It was the symbol of the Egyptian deity Nefertem.[42]

[edit]

Nymphaea caerulea has been illegal in Latvia since November 2009. It is a schedule 1 drug. Possession of up to 1 gram are fined up to 280 euros; for second offences within a year period, criminal charges are applied. Possession of larger quantities can be punished by up to 15 years in prison.[43] The plant was banned in Poland in March 2009. Possession and distribution lead to a criminal charge.[44] N. caerulea has been illegal in Russia since April 2009, along with related products such as Salvia divinorum, Argyreia nervosa, and others.[45]
