Dyckia burle-marxii

Dyckia burle-marxii

This will forever be a mysterious plant as the species was described by a cultivated specimen.
It was never revealed the place of the origin and never found in nature.
The plant here shown is the closest to it that can be found in nature.
This plant comes from a high vertical granitic cliff in Central Brazil.
The terrain down around this cliff is usedfor big soybean platation and from time to time also for pasture. Strayed Dyckia seeds may germinate between cultures and they are the only
reachable specimes.
This one was spotted growing amid pasture down below that cliff.
