Dyckia sp Campo Tenente-PR



Dyckia fosteriana affinis?



This is brand new! This is an intriguing new find from Southeast Paraná. It seems to guard some looks of the Dyckia fosteriana. The flowers are reported to be orange and very similar to those of the Dyckia fosteriana. The Southermost Dyckia fosteriana was found in Lapa some kilometeres North but even so too much too south for a fosteriana whose range was understood to be two hundred kilometers North. Well this may be not any sort nor kind of Dyckia fosteriana but it looks a green one. Think it is one Dyckia fosteriana affinis or something like that. It is new and it is too soon to state anything. The plant is rupiculous and far away from abundant. This plant was loose and fallen from the rocks. this a discovery from a friend of mine and cultivated by him since last January.
