Dyckia sp from Serra do Corvo Branco in Santa Catarina

Serra do Corvo Branco is an impressing chain of mountains in Santa Catarina close to the border with Rio Grande do Sul. The place is very cold in Winter and frosts are quite common.

This is a small and very beautiful plant and looks like it is covered by a light frost.
As for name  Dyckia gelida would fit perfectly.
Gelida means ice cold.
