This is a wild species of Nymphaea appearing frequently after rains in roadside ditches..
I hope this is Nymphaea pubescens….please validate or correct the id.. I agree.
    This another common aquatic plant in ponds and marshes, specially during this rainy season. ID keys available in Flora of Pakistan and in Flora of China tell me that this species is Nymphaea pubescens Willd.
Species : Nymphaea pubescens Willd. (Nymphaea lotus var. pubescens (WIld,) Hook. f. & Thoms.)
Bengali name : SHALOOK / SHAPLA / BHET
Habit & Habitat : aquatic herb, the flowers remain closed in late morning
Date : 18/8/12, 2.27 P.M.
Place : Hooghly
        Recorded this common aquatic herb yesterday. I think this is the same species as in my earlier upload.
Species : Nymphaea pubescens Willd.
Bengali name : SHALUK or SHAPLA
Habit & Habitat : aquatic herb in a pond
Date : 18/10/12, 9/45 a.m.
Place : Barijhati (Hooghly) Very nice crisp pictures, … any idea about the size of the leaf and the flower? My sense of dimension is very weak and that’s why i keep these days a ruler/scale with me. So, i am not sure, the flowers seems to be bigger than my palm and the leaf blades maybe 4 to 6 times.
We (my family) do not eat SHAPLA, KOCHU etc., so i cannot tell you. However, the same or/and similar looking plants are also known as BHET in rural area and some villagers eat those.

ID of waterlily: 2 images. Nymphaea pubescens / Hooghly today – Nymphaea stellata Willd., possibly var. major Voigt (N. cyanea Roxb.) : (mixed thread): Attachments (12). 5 posts by 3 authors. Oh great photographs If I am not wrong then there are two species in the pond
1. one with darker green leaves and spinous-dentate margin (both are seen in images 92, 95 and 99). It should be N. pubecens.
2. One with light green leaves, smooth or repand-dentate blunt margins that could be N. nauchauli Burm.f. (syn N. stellata Willd.) Yes Sir, you can not be wrong. There are two species, and i missed it. The one with darker green & spinous dentate leaves are of N. pubescens Willd. (FoP). And those two buds (in P1060399.jpg) might be of the N. pubescens that i think closes in bright daylight.
These may be useful in identification:
