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

[Paul van Rijckevorsel]

This has been settled a long time ago, and most sources
think it is self-explanatory (see for example
http://www.kew.org/plants-fungi/Victoria-amazonica.htm ).

There is a nice anecdote in Langmead's /A Passion for plants/
(and also a nice story on the pollination ecology).
