Nuphar pumila, the least water-lily, is a perennial, rhizomatous aquatic herb in the family Nymphaeaceae, native to subarctic and temperate Eurasia. It has ovate leaves 5 to 10 centimetres long on petioles 20 to 50 centimetres long, round wrinkled submerged leaves, and yellow, faintly fragrant flowers 1 to 4.5 centimetres wide with nine to thirteen petals. It grows in lakes, ponds and slowly flowing rivers in nutrient-poor water 0.5 to 3 metres deep. Joachim Christian Timm first published it in 1795 as a variety of Nymphaea lutea, and Augustin Pyramus de Candolle raised it to a separate species in 1821. The International Union for Conservation of Nature rates it as least concern, yet hybridisation with Nuphar lutea, climate change, pollution and habitat destruction threaten it, and it is classed as endangered in Switzerland and Poland and vulnerable in France.
