About

Nymphaea belophylla is a species of waterlily native to Bolivia, Brazil and Venezuela.

Where it grows

In one instance, it has been found growing in flooded grassland savanna at water depths of 110 cm beneath Tabebuia aurea trees. In another case, it was observed growing in floodplains at water depths of 1.5-2m among the grass species Oryza rufipogon and Paspalum wrightii. In the Pantanal, where it can occur sympatrically with Nymphaea oxypetala, it is found in floodplains and rivers.
