{{Inc| Nymphaea gigantea, Hook. (Castalia. gigantea, Brit.). Lvs. narrowly peltate, elliptic or ovate, margin sinuate-dentate, sinus open; under surface brownish pink to purple; 18 in. across: fls. light blue, open 7 days from 9 A.m. to 6 P.m., 6-12 in. across; sepals pure green; petals 18-50, dark blue at tip, shading to nearly white at base; stamens 350-750; filaments mostly filiform; anthers bright yellow. Austral. B.M. 4647. F.S. 7:751. G.C. HI. 28:77; 34:63; 53:422 (var. Hudsoniana). Gn. W. 20, suppl. Sept. 5 (var. Hudsonii). G.W. 1:122; 9:447; 15:511. Gn. 64, p. 114 (var. Hudsonii).—The most delicate and lovely, and withal one of the largest of the genus. The original large-flowering type (sometimes called var. Hookeri) is difficult to cult. The form now in gardens is smaller and easier to manage; it is called by Henkel W. Caspdryi, and in Austral, is sometimes called N. gracilis. White and pink forms (N. alba and .V. rosea, Benth. & Muell.) occur in Austral. An English var. Hudsoniana, said to be a cross with N. stellata is evidently only a seedling of N. gigantea. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
