Unamed species. Just in paradise...


Those who like Dyckias and can not see them in Nature
may never understand a plant like this still unnamed in 2009.
Brazil is huge, this county is not only big.
We are new. Nothing here is older 500 years.
Once we had to rely on European entrepreneurs to find and classify
everything in our fauna and flora. That is the main reason
the Scientific names to be so odd and weird to us.
Just two years ago we heard about 132 Dyckia species.
Now we say they may be more than 600 species!
Enlarge this picture.
Maybe it is the first time ever under eyes like yours.
This is a magnificent Santa Catarina new species.
