This member of the Agavaceae family was first described by Thomas Moore in
1875. It's found in Coahila, Chihuahua desert, Mexico. This sub-species
devolves offshoots, already from young. The
other ones newer forms any. It needs a well-drained soil, some water
when in summer and lots of sun. Can be reproduced both by leaves and
seeds. The flower is crème with some purple. I found mine in Box Hill,
Australia 2002.
It is, of cause,
named after QUEEN VICTORIA (1818-1901), queen of Great Britain and
Ireland, empress of India.
