Studies on several populations of Nymphaea rubra in the Howrah, Hooghly and 24-Parganas districts in West Bengal and Barisal district in Bangladesh reveal that this species, claimed to be a native of Bengal, never sets fruit in nature. The plant propagates though stolons and vegetative buds and, in exceptional cases, by proliferation of flowers. The report of meiotic irregularity and high incidence of polysomaty and pollen sterility is indicative of its apomictic nature. The nomenclature of the plant has been discussed.
