Nymphaea brongniartii is a species of aquatic plant, which occurred in the upper Oligocene period of France. [1]
The peduncle has 5-7 primary air canals. The flowers had four sepals, and at most 12 petals. There is a gap between petals and stamens. The androecium consists of more than 100 stamens. The gynoecium consists of 30-32 carpels. The operculate, arillate, ovoid seeds had longitudinal ridges. [1]
It was described as †Anoectomeria brongniartii Caspary by Robert Caspary in 1856. It was emended by Butzmann and Fischer, 2013. [1]
