Least Yellow Water-Lily |
Nuphar pumila |
It grows in oligotrophic or mesotrophic water in lakes, sheltered bays, ditches and pools in marshes and bogs. It persists in one eutrophic lake in Shropshire. |
|||
Nymphaea alba |
It grows in lakes, ponds, the backwaters of rivers or large ditches, and occasionally in mires. It tolerates a wide range of water chemistry but lacks submerged leaves and is therefore vulnerable to disturbance by boats. Generally lowland, but reaching 405 m at Dock Tarn (Cumberland) and formerly 480 m at Angle Tarn (Westmorland). |

Great Thinkers on : Inheritance I think it's your duty to overcome what you inherit in life. ( Kelsey Grammar) A son can bear with equanimity the loss of his father, but the loss of his inheritance may drive him to despair. (Niccolo Machiavelli) All heiresses are beautiful. (John Dryden) Blessed are the young: for they shall inherit the National Debt. (Herbert Hoover) I think that a rich person should leave their children enough so that they can do anything, but not enough that they can do nothing. (Warren Buffett) The patient is not likely to recover who makes the doctor his heir. (Thomas Fuller) |
