Nymphaea conardii is a species of waterlily native to the region spanning from Southern Mexico to tropical South America.

[1] Nymphaea conardii is an aquatic herb[2] with ovoid, 4.5 cm wide rhizomes.

[4] The granulose, pilose, ellipsoid seeds have trichomes arranged in interrupted, longitudinal lines.

[2][5] Autogamy is possible, as the stigma retains its female function in the second day, when the pollen is released, thus enabling self-fertilization.

[11] The specific epithet conardii honours the botanist Henry Shoemaker Conard (1874 - 1971).

[12] It inhabits flooded savannas, shallow lagoons, and Morichales associated with still water (i.e. wetlands characterized by the presence of the moriche palm Mauritia flexuosa) at elevations of 0-200 m above sea level.
