Nuphar × spenneriana

Nuphar × spenneriana is a species of rhizomatous aquatic plant native to Europe.

[1] It likely arose 10 000 years ago, when both parent species came into contact.

[6] In Eastern Europe and Asia observations of intermediate plants are rare.

In Western Europe hybridisation appears to have played a more significant role.

[7] The nothospecific epithet spenneriana honours Fridolin Carl Leopold Spenner (1798-1841).
