 This name was applied rather promiscuously to both the White 

 and the Yellow Water Lilies both by authors before and after

 irepa a second one, the common or white flowered one therefore being 

 the typical one. This was the common opinion of all the older phytographers 

 and prevailed until a few years ago, Boerhavae, Ludwig, Salisbury of the 

 few exceptions to the contrary.
