Water Lily, Pond-Lily or Lotus?

There’s considerable confusion surrounding the common names of aquatic plants in the three genera Nymphaea, Nuphar and Nelumbo. True enough, they all have fairly circular leaves that float on fresh water and grow with their tuberous roots in the mud of a pond or lake (or in a pot!), but they’re not even closely related.
