   This member of the Agavaceae family was first described by T. Moore in 1875. It's found in Coahila, Chihuahua desert. 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.
