Dyckia sp Rio Grande do Sul

This beautiful Dyckia is something quite intriguing as it is not a Paraná native to Dyckia.
It looks closely to Dyckia fosteriana but for sure it is not one.
This plant is a bit larger than Dyckia fosteriana and differs in the color of the petals which are
red or deep orange and it comes from Northwestern Rio Grande do Sul way too distant from any Dyckia fosterian habitat.
This plant is not mentioned in any list of Rio Grande do Sul native Dyckias, to my knowing.
Native to Tres Passos region.
