Dyckia noelii.... another fantastic new Santa Catarina finding

Dyckia noelli
Here a nocturnal view. Notice the very well scale  covered crown center and the  patina on the underleaves This all makes us believe this is a Dyckia species dusenii affinis or as in the case Dyckia noelii is a Dyckia dusseni related species.

This is one  most striking novelty. The contrast between the two faces of the leaves is well acentuated and quite rare as the underleaves are all  copper patina like.
