New found Dyckia species in Santa Catarina - Brazil



New found, never seen before. Pictures taken today, 10 hours ago.
This is just an appetizer as I took more than 500 pictures.
A totally new to Science Dyckia species!
They were found high on a mountain  at 966 meters high above sea level in Rio do Sul, Santa Catarina.
I was born in Rio do Sul August 30th, 1954.
This plant has a special meaning to.

If I had to describe it I would say a mix of reitzii and fosteriana.

This was a special hot day there but less than a week ago it snowed  to
accumulate 30cm on the ground.



This is Djenes Dalfovo down there.

I must thank my friends,
Paulo Fernando Cé who first found the plant,
Djnes and Mileide Dalfovo who led me there.
