Dyckia julianae - Arroio dos Ratos - RS



Dyckia julianae

This is a true charming species.
Comes from down South in Brazil.
Arroio dos Ratos belongs to something like Dyckia Triangle.
There we may see some of the most striking Dyckia species.



Small and every well arranged and symmetric rosette.
The color varies with the season and the humidity at its disposal.



Bears small yellow flowers attached to a slender spike.
It turns into a pinkish/red shade of color when dehydrated.

  1. Perhaps that triangle is the center of evolution for the genus? What is known?
