Dyckia sp Northeastern Santa Catarina



This is a small to Dwarf Dyckia never seen anywhere, any place worldwide.
This absolutely new small Dyckia is native to the Dona Francisca
Hills in Joinville Santa Catarina.
It is very similar to the one in the next post but its leaves are Green and silver and even narrower. the spines are also very strong and capable of injuring one´s skin.
There are many, many new dyckias to be seen and described here in Southern Brazil.
We have too much to study, discover and classify.
This is a new breeze, fresh air to any serious collection.
A cutie cutie Dyckia.
Blooms in conspicuous yellow petals flowers.
Seeds are big and just a few at a time.

See the plant from a rear view and notice that it is a very old
divided plant.
