Dyckia brevifolia subidensis

Dyckia brevifolia subidensis seedlings

Not long ago it was believed Dyckia brevifolia had just one face.
Noe we saw at least four different looks in Dyckia brevifolia along the
Itajaí River in Santa Catarina. Subida, the most turbulent part of the river shows three well distint Dyckia brevifolia varieties.
This one here has even broader leaves and bigger teeth. The plant is shallower and much too paler then the type form.
In my opinion the most beautiful and rare of all.
