The George Safford Torrey Herbarium (CONN)

Registration and Checklist of Nymphaeaceae

The Registration of culta within Nymphaeaceae Salisb. (water-lily Family) is carried out by The University of Connecticut, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology for the The International Waterlily and Water Gardening Society as appointed by the International Society for Horticultural Science. Standards (a specimen, seed sample or illustration kept and maintained to demonstrate the diagnostic characteristics of a cultivar) are maintained in The George Safford Torrey Herbarium (CONN). Hybridizers/Registrants wishing to register a new cultivar name can follow the below links to achieve this. In addition, the following web pages are dedicated to developing an on-line Register of all Cultivar names and links to associated literature (protologues) within this family and denomination classes. It is the eventual aim of these pages to have links to Standards, images and illustrations that together constitute Standard Portfolios.
