Nymphaea nouchali, commonly known as the Red and blue water lily, Blue star water lily, Star lotus, Pygmy Water-lily, or by its synonym Nymphaea stellata, is a water lily of genus Nymphaea. The Blue waterlily is the national flower of Sri Lanka. White-flowered waterlilies (of several species) are the national flower of Bangladesh and the state flower for Andhra Pradesh, India.
