The term “Prickly Water Lily” doesn’t correspond to a widely recognized or scientifically accepted species or variety of water lily as of my last knowledge update in January 2022. It’s possible that there could be a local or colloquial name for a specific type of water lily, or it might be a name used in a specific context.

Water lilies, in general, are aquatic plants belonging to the family Nymphaeaceae. They are known for their beautiful and fragrant flowers that float on the water’s surface. Some well-known species include the European white water lily (Nymphaea alba) and the American white water lily (Nymphaea odorata).

If “Prickly Water Lily” is a term coined after my last update or is a less common name, I recommend checking with local botanical sources, nurseries, or experts who may have more information about specific water lily varieties in your region. Additionally, new plant varieties or names may have been introduced since my last knowledge update.
