Dyckia species from Pedra Furada in Santa Catarina

This small and beautiful Dyckia species was found near Pedra Furada in Santa Catarina.
This little plant grows on rocks and its is very difficult to get close to them ´cause thy live
in a very mountainous area full of deep valleys.
We have also seen some populations Dyckia reitzii there. 
The type form of Dyckia reitzii was found close by in Serra do Corvo Branco.
All this area is very cold in some winter days and the snow is not uncommon.
