Dyckia hebdingii X Dyckia chorestaminea??

A group of these plants was found amid a Dyckia hebdingii population in Arroio dos Ratos
 Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil

This is very intriguing as the  next  Dyckia chorestaminea population is found 
far away from there.

This is, in every way, a stunning beautiful and good looking plant and a natural one.

  1. How could you determine if this was a sp.? If you selfed seeds, and all the seedlings produced were basically uniform in type? Beautiful color & form whatever it is....

  2. I do not determine. It is the taxonomy. Plant in wilderness are rarely hybrid and when we find one it is quite a discover.

    Plants in nature are isolated from other species of the very same genus...some differences do appear but this is the way nature can face future in evolution.

    I may produce very uniform looking hybrids that breed true and even so it is not a species..we do not make species...this is a nature job.
