Encholirium magalhaesei

Dyckias and Encholiriuns are two well separated genus but...
...they are so close related they interbreed easily.
Recently amid a few Brazilian botanists there was a tentative of uniting all those plants into genus Dyckia. It did not work!

Encholiriuns are typically Brazilian plants, there is none native to any other country.

 

The flower stalk is terminal but long before the plant dies it emits a lateral new plant and life goes on.

A a first glace one can get confused but in time we see the new sprout will also bloom and die.

Notice the quantity of pollen. Here I used a ear swab.

I made self and alsosome bigeneric hybrids here.
