The stunning Dyckia joanae-marcioi...of course this is species!

Dyckia joanae-marcioi

If one reads the description of this species, a recently made one, will believe this plant is a dwarf or a very small one species. This is not true! 
Science failed here once more. It all seems the descriptors were in a hurry and could not even think of cultivating this plant  for some years before doing any attempt to describe it.
The plant is big, much bigger than described!

I do not understand this attention to celerity and not celebrity.
Observation takes time and one is in a hurry it won´t work....
Such a beautiful plant does not deserve this treatment, this formal and less than futile and useless treatment.
Botanics has been a parade of egos and continues being so....
The thing reached to a point of just the fools believe in Botanics...
