A newfound Dyckia species in Santa Catarina Southeast, Brazil



Look, people live close to them and do not know what they are.
This species is brand new to science or  not knew to science.
Walter Kranz, Clenilson Souza and me, we saw this  some days ago.
This is a new Dyckia species and a well fixed one as its individuals  seem to look the very same.
One must observe the population to confirm this but they seem to be one plant only. One look!
I took these pictures thinking of you and willing to make you get acquainted to a Dyckia habitat.
Here Dyckias are found on the rock, a huge rock.
Take your time. Enlarge the pictures, you will see many many details here.

 


Old flower stalks are well branched.

 


Plants are not just big, they are huge!
