Redirect to Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea
Nymphaea capensis Thunb., which this article is about, is a synonym of Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea (Savigny) Verdc. Therefore, I would be in favour of a redirect to the page of the accepted name. However, there seems to be a different homonymic species Nymphaea capensis Baill. described 89 years after Nymphaea capensis Thunb. This one is not listed by Plants of the World online. I don't think it is an accepted name of any kind, since it was published after the first N. capensis. But to which species of plant it belongs is unclear to me.

Since the Nymphaea capensis article is so short and the Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea is so detailed and extensive, I think there would be no loss of information when this article is turned into a redirect to the accepted name. Feel free to object, if I am wrong. Conan Wolff (talk) 20:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
