[Taxacom] Victoria regina v. V amazonica name help sought

[Tony.Rees at csiro.au]

Hi John,

A little Googling led to this:

http://www.victoria-adventure.org/more_than_links/walter_regina_regia.html

It seems amazonica has priority although it was originally established in another genus (unless I have misunderstood).

Cheers - Tony

Can anyone help with the reference that gives the reason for changing Victoria regina to Victoria amazonica (Nymphaeaceae)?

Thanks, JohnS
