Reported is the rediscovery of Nymphaea candida in Gaasterland, Province of Friesland, the Netherlands. The species was seen here for the last time in 1978, but a survey of the larger area around Oudemirdum showed that N. candida is not rare in this area. Its distribution area is discussed and a table with discriminative characters of N. alba and N. candida is given.
