Victoria boliviana, or the Bolivian waterlily[2] is a species of aquatic plant within the genus Victoria in the family Nymphaeaceae.[1] It is the newest described species of the genus and its largest member in size and was officially identified in 2022.[3] In January 2023, the species was awarded three Guinness World Record titles for world's largest waterlily species, world's largest waterlily leaf and world's largest undivided leaf, with the latter two specifically recognising a specimen grown in 2012 at La Rinconada Gardens in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.[4]
