'Victoria amazonica' is a species of flowering plant, the
largest of the Nymphaeaceae family of water lilies. The species
has very large leaves, up to 3 m in diameter, that float on the water's
surface on a submerged stalk, 7–8 m in length. The species was once
called 'Victoria regia' after Queen Victoria, but the name was
superseded. 'Victoria regia' was once the subject of rivalry
between Victorian gardeners in England...

house at Chatsworth; Paxton's design for the Crystal Palace
took its cue from the organic structure of this plant

'On unbent leaf in fairy guise,
Reflected in the water,
Beloved, admired by hearts and eyes,
Stands Annie, Paxton's daughter...'
