CEGL002562 Nymphaea odorata - Nuphar (microphylla, variegata) Aquatic Vegetation
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: American White Water-lily - (Yellow Pond-lily, Variegated Yellow Pond-lily) Aquatic Vegetation
Colloquial Name: Northern Water-lily Aquatic Wetland
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: 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 Nymphaea odorata, Nuphar microphylla, and Nuphar variegata. Other dominants may include Brasenia schreberi and Potamogeton amplifolius. A variety of emergent species can occur in this community.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: This type is not well-characterized across its range. Further review is needed in the United States. Depending on spatial scale, it conceptually overlaps both submergent and emergent aquatic types.

Floristics: 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 Nymphaea odorata, Nuphar microphylla (= Nuphar lutea ssp. pumila), and Nuphar variegata (= Nuphar lutea ssp. variegata). Other dominants may include Brasenia schreberi and Potamogeton amplifolius. A variety of emergent species can occur within this type (Harris et al. 1996).
