Tabish ji, Tanay and Balkar ji
Tabish ji may be right. I had identified this as Nymphaea candida and got it
confirmed from an authority in KEW, but only question mark was that N.
candida is a species of colder climate. For me the flowers were white but
yes I agree they have yellowish tinge. Other features that support Tabish
ji's conclusion are that both leaves (when crowded) and flowers rise above
water surface. The only two things that bother me now are larger leaves up
to 30 cm across (they are generally supposed to be less than 18 cm in N.
mexicana), and absence of brownish spots on the under side.
For present N. mexicana is the logical conclusion.
Thanks Tabish ji once again.
