Members of this family are commonly called water lilies and live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate and tropical climates around the world.The family contains eight large-flowered genera with about 70 species.The genus Nymphaea contains about 35 species in the Northern Hemisphere.The genus Victoria contains two species of giant water lilies endemic to South America.Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the surface.The white water lily is the national flower of Bangladesh and State flower for Andhra Pradesh, India. The Blue waterlily is the national flower of Sri Lanka. It is also the birth flower for July.
The water-lily has a special place in Tamil poetics, where it is considered symbolic of the grief of separation; it is considered to evoke imagery of the sunset, the seashore and the shark.
