Water-lilies (Nymphaea spp. and Nuphar spp.) are among the most primitive dicotyledons. Features such as the spiral arrangement and large numbers of floral leaves are considered to be signs of this. On the other hand, the floating leaves represent a high level of specialisation.
Water-lily’s flower floats on the surface but after flowering the pedicel coils and drags the flower under water where the fruit develops. When the seeds are ripe and released they rice back to the surface. The seeds float with the help of an air-filled aril and are dispersed by waves and current. Eventually they sink and germinate in the bottom muds.
