Nymphcea coerulea of the Nile. A blue -water-lily in aspect Tropical and probably derived from 

 seeds floating down the river to Egypt, where it is called " bachenyn a'raby,'' and its root "byarou" 

 (Del.) ; the root is said to have been pointed out as esculent by Isis — or by Menes (Diodor. i. 2. 

 p. 41) : throughout the Egyptian monuments, even in highly-finished representations, I lound the 

 margin of the leaves invariably entire ; flowers are figured among offerings under the Fourth dynasty 

 (Leps. d. ii. pi. 10), and in an instance under the Twentieth I found them distinctly painted blue : 

 garlands of the " kuah£an " water-lily were seen by Callixenus at Alexandria (Athen. iii. 1. p. 72) ; 

 the "bisnin el-Arabi " is distinguished by Ebn Baitar (Alpin. iii. 10. p. 163); N. coerulea was 

 observed in Egypt by Savigny, Delile, and Clot-Bey, its root cooked and eaten and regarded as pref- 

 erable in quality.
