Nelumbo aureavallis is an extinct lotus-family species known only from Eocene fossil leaves found in western North Dakota, USA. It is not grown as a living plant, so the care fields below do not apply to cultivation.
Nelumbo aureavallis is an extinct species of flowering plants in the lotus family known from Ypresian age Eocene fossils found in western North Dakota, USA.
The species was described from two leaf specimens with reference to four others. The leaves were found at the AMNH fossil localities 14088, 14089, 14091a and 14099, all of which are in the Camels Butte member of the Golden Valley Formation. The Camels Butte member outcrops at a number of sites in western North Dakota, and is designated as the type locality.
