    Nymphaea lotus, the white Egyptian lotus, tiger lotus, white lotus, or Egyptian water-lily,[3] is a flowering plant of the family Nymphaeaceae.
    Distribution
    It grows in various parts of East Africa and Southeast Asia. Nymphaea lotus var. thermalis was believed to be a Tertiary relict variety endemic to the thermal waters of Europe, for example, the Peţa River in Romania. DNA analysis has concluded that Nymphaea lotus var. thermalis lacks distinctiveness from Nymphaea lotus and therefore cannot be classified as a relic population.[5]
    Cultivation
    It was introduced into Western cultivation in 1802 by Loddiges Nursery. Eduard Ortgies crossed Nymphaea lotus (N. dentata) with Nymphaea pubescens (N. rubra) to produce the first Nymphaea hybrid, illustrated in Flore des serres 8 t. 775, 776 under the name Nymphaea ortgiesiano-rubra. It is a popular ornamental aquatic plant in Venezuela.[citation needed]

    It is a perennial, growing to 45 cm in height. The flower is white, sometimes tinged with pink.[citation needed]
    Ecology

    It is found in ponds and prefers clear, warm, still, and slightly acidic waters. It can be found in association with other aquatic plant species, such as Utricularia stellaris.
    Nymphaea lotus has the exceptional ability to persist through a dry season with rhizomes. It possesses the ability to reduce evaporation by up to 18 percent on most of the days during the summer period.[6]
    Uses
    As an aquarium plant
    Nymphaea lotus is often used as a freshwater aquarium plant. In ornamental garden pools and in greenhouse culture, it is grown for its flowers, which do not normally appear under aquarium conditions. Aquarists prefer to trim the floating lily pads and just maintain the underwater foliage. Strong light is required for a deep reddish color in the "red" forms.[citation needed]
