Anand ji Nymphaea malabarica is now considered as synonym of N. nauchali in which the stamens have distinct appendages and petals are tinged with red or blue. My plant agrees more with N. candida (petals at least outer white, leaves larger and nearly 12 stigma rays and concave disc) and N. mexicana (tropical habitat, yellowish inner petals and raised leaves and flowers). It may ultimately turn out to be a hybrid in nature. Let watch it further and get more opinions.
