Dyckia pectinata ( Comb like Dyckia)



This is a very rare plant in nature, here, there and everywhere.



Dyckia pectinata
This Latin name means like a comb. Its seeds are like chamois leather.
In nature it grows on a restricted area of Minas Gerais close to Rio de Janeiro State.
There are reports of a green one pectinta so this may be a rubra form.
