Nymphaeaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. The family is also called the "water-lily family". The white water lily is the national flower of Bangladesh. It is also the birth flower for July. Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms (as opposed to folk taxonomy). ...

A botanical name is a formal name conforming to the ICBN. As with its zoological and bacterial equivalents it may also be called a scientific name. Botanical names may be in one part (genus and above), two parts (species) or three parts (below the rank of species). ...
Classes Magnoliopsida - Dicots Liliopsida - Monocots The flowering plants (also angiosperms or Magnoliophyta) are one of the major groups of modern plants, comprising those that produce seeds in specialized reproductive organs called flowers, where the ovulary or carpel is enclosed. ...
Water-lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the water surface. The leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria. Soil is material capable of supporting plant life. ...
In botany, a leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for photosynthesis. ...
Clivia miniata bears bright orange flowers. ...
Horticulturally, water-lilies are divided into two main categories: hardy and tropical. Hardy water lilies bloom only during the day, but tropical water lilies can bloom either day or night, and are the only group to contain blue-flowered plants.
The viability of water lily seeds is exceptionally long, around 2000 years.
Taxonomy
Such a family has been universally recognised by taxonomists, although the circumscription of the family has varied. The genus Nelumbo, which grows in the same kinds of habitat and which until a few decades ago often was included in this family, is not closely related at all, and is now placed in the order Proteales. Species Nelumbo lutea (American Lotus) Nelumbo nucifera (Sacred Lotus) Nelumbo is a genus of water flowers commonly known as lotus (Hindi: कमल) and the only genus in the family Nelumbonaceae. ...
Families See text The Proteales are an order of flowering plants, which belong among the basal eudicots. ...
APG II The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), also recognises such a family and leaves it unplaced as to order. It is not placed at all beyond being accepted among the most basic lineages in the clade angiosperms. APG II allows for two possible circumscriptions: A modern system of plant taxonomy, the APG II system of plant classification was published in 2003 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, APG, in Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (2003). ...
