In botany, Nymphaeaceae is the name of a family of plants which grow in water. The family is also called water-lily family.

Their flowers suggest they are one of the earliest groups of angiosperms.^[1] Modern genetic analyses by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group researchers has confirmed its basal position among flowering plants.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Also, the Nymphaeaceae are more diverse and wdespread than other basal angiosperms.^[5]^[6] Nymphaeaceae is in the order Nymphaeales. According to the most widely accepted flowering plant classification system, this is the second diverging group of angiosperms after Amborella.^[2]^[3]^[4]
