White water lily is an aquatic perennial plant commonly found in ponds and slow streams in eastern North America. Its little-branched rootstock produces large orbicular or oblong-orbicular, entire leaves that float on the surface of the water. They are dark green on top and mostly purplish underneath. The fragrant, large, many-petaled white flowers bloom above the water for three days, opening in the forenoon each day. Flowering time is from June to Septmber.

Antiseptic, astringent, demulcent. A tea made from white poind lily root makes a good gargle for irritiation and inflammation in the mouth and throat. It can also be used as an eyewash and an antiseptic vaginal douche. As a lotion, it helps to heal sores and to make the skin soft and smooth. Both the root and the leaves are sometimes made into poultices for wounds, cuts, and bruises.

Do not mistake the white pond lily for the tuberous water lily, which can cause poisoning. The poisonous plant can be distinguished by its tuberous rootstock and nearly odorless flowers.
