Dyckia polycladus comes from Tabai region in Rio Grande do Sul.
It blooms fantastically. Thousands of tiny yellow flowers on a tall and branched flower stalk.
One of the most ancient Dyckia plants maybe the one the originated all Dyckias we know.
In Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina we have the most ancient Dyckias the also the most modern ones.
Dyckia genus originated around the border of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.
From there the genus spread up North till the right margin of the mighty Amazon river and South to 100km south to Buenos Aires in Argentina.
From North Dyckias have returned to the original point and these are the most modern ones.
We´ve just barely begun to know Dyckias from the very start.
In Brazil we have a most prestigious mind: Dr. Walter Krantz (Dyckia krantziana) who is worthwhile to be listen to on this respect.
