Dyckia brevifolia Izabel



Dyckia brevifolia Izabel
It is a species!



The seedling below is the very same plant above seen. The upper picture was taken today almost three years after the pictures below. This plant is a descent from the plant my mother Izabel found adrift in Itajaí-açu River 6 km downstream from Subida after the big flood of 1983. This flood is a historical one and cause much pain and losses in Rio do Sul where I was born and Blumenau and all the places and towns in between. Dyckia brevifolia Izabel may have its habitat upstream the point it was found floating (In a small river beach by the 111km of the Road Br-470.) when the water of the flood lowered.
