[edit]Vegetative characteristics
[edit]Nuphar japonica is a perennial,[3] aquatic, rhizomatous,[1] herb[4] with 1–3 cm thick rhizomes.[6][7] The leaves are submerged,[8][4] floating, or emerged.[7] The leaf blade is 12–35 cm long, and 6–18 cm wide.[6] The terete petiole[9] is 3–10(–14) mm wide.[7]
Generative characteristics
[edit]The yellow to red,[3] solitary,[4] 4–5 cm wide flowers[10] have a long, cylindrical peduncle.[4] The flowers have five sepals[11] and 10–18 petals.[12] The gynoecium consists of 15–16 carpels.[11] The 2–3.5 cm long,[7] and 1.6–2.3 cm wide, urceolate, green, long-necked fruit[6] bears ovoid seeds.[7]
Cytology
[edit]The chromosome count is 2n = 34.[13]
Taxonomy
[edit]It was published by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1821.[11][1] It is placed in the section Nuphar sect. Nuphar.[14]
Natural hybrids
[edit]Nuphar × saijoensis (Shimoda) Padgett is a natural hybrid between Nuphar japonica and Nuphar pumila.[15]
Etymology
[edit]The specific epithet japonica means of Japan.[16][17]
Phytochemistry
[edit]N. japonica contains the alkaloids nupharidin, 1-desoxynupharidin, nupharamine, methyl and ethyl esters of nupharamine. The fruits also contains the alkaloids (0.06%) nupharine, beta-nupharidin, desoxynupharidin. In the rhizomes are found the steroid sitosterol, alkaloids acids, higher fatty acids (palmitic, oleic acid) and the ellagitanins nupharin A, B,[18] C, D, E and F.[19]
Ecology
[edit]Habitat
[edit]It occurs in lakes, ponds, and streams.[6]
Use
[edit]It is grown as an ornamental plant in aquaria,[8][20][10] as well as in ponds.[10]
