Dyckia argentea?

One of the most amzing things happened evolving this plant native to
Serra do Lenheiro in Minas Gerais Brazil.
The taxonomist in fact described Hecthia, a plant from North America,
instead of a Dyckia plant from South America.
Thi si all Human and make us know Taxonomy is not a religion nor taxonomists
semi gods .
So, all in all and in fact and for real Dyckia argentea does not exist.
But....

...But something odd really exists. This plant you see comes from Serra do Lenheiro in Minas
the same area from where that unexisting Dyckia argentea came according to the descriptions.
This contributes greatly for what I say: Dyckias are far superior plants i n many ways.
When they bloom you may relax and enjoy it, the plant won´t rot.
After blooming all the work lies on cutting off the flower stem instead of dumping a roting corpse sometimes heavier than yourself.
In fact Dyckias only get better bloom after bloom.
Like Dorian Grey time just adds perfection to Dyckias...
