I think we need input from a specialist who can comment authoritatively.

Stewart in his 'An Annotated Catalogue of the Vascular Plants of Pakistan &
Kashmir' (1972)lists:
Nymphaea alba L. - common on Kashmir Lakes.
Nymphaea candida Presl. - Kashmir Lakes according to Jacquemont.
Nymphaea nouchalii Burm. f. - Sind, Punjab
Nymphaea lotus L. - Sind
Nymphaea stellata Willd. - Sind and Punjab
Nymphaea tetragona Georgi - Kashmir Lakes 1500-2700m incl. Tangmarg & Gulmarg
Stewart commented that the water lilies of Pakistan & Kashmir had been
neglected with too littlematerial in herbaria.
Has this genus been studied since then by Indian botanists or specialists
elsewhere?
I photographed a Nymphaea on Nageen Lake, Srinagar, during my last visit to
Kashmir (see attachedimages). Cannot say these images match well those of
N.alba available on the internet (IF theseare correct, of course).
Does anyone have specialist knowledge of this genus?
