Nymphaea, Folia Naturae Bihariae, is the yearbook of the Natural Sciences Section of the Museum of the Country of Crișurilor in Oradea. It was founded in 1973 by Prof. Univ. Dr. Sever Dumitraşcu, the then director of the museum. Between 1973-1982, 10 volumes (I-X) appeared, after which the yearbook was discontinued. In the period 1984-1990, Nymphaea was published as an extract from Crisia (vol. XIV-XX), from 1991 the yearbook began to appear again as an independent publication, until now volumes XXI-XLVIX have been published.
The yearbook addresses various topics in the field of life and earth sciences (botany, zoology, geology, paleontology, speleology, environmental protection, etc.), as well as issues related to museum heritage management, but several articles in the field of pisciculture and horticulture were also published.
