Order Nymphaeales

Order Nymphaeales

Order Nymphaeales includes beautiful water lilies and other plants that live in water (aquatic). As the stems are surrounded by water, most of them do not have conducting tubes (vessels) inside to carry water to all parts of the plant. There are 5 Families in this Order, including the Water Lily Family (Nymphaeaceae) and the Water Shield Family (Cabombaceae). [CH] {EN}
