Nymphaea gigantea (Gigantic Waterlily)

Subgenus Anecphya

One of the Australian waterlilies, it has evolved to live in waters that regularly reach 32 °C. Although its 75 cm leaf span is large among Nymphaea species, it is dwarfed by the 3 m leaf span of Victoria amazonica (Queen Victoria's Waterlily).
