Dyckia dusenii

Dyckia dusenii
Extremely rare in Santa Catarina but it can be found in Campo Alegre region.
It can be sole green, olive or reddish with more or less silver pigmentation.

the silver pigmentation is much more intense in the center of the crown.
There this silver coting is protected from the heavy rain.
If you protect the whole plant it gets a magnificent all over silver coating.
this Species in spite of being an old known one species it is
extremely rare outside Brazil.
Somehow Santa Catarina Northeast was neglected by the usual bushmen.
they centered their attention to the Central Brazil species.
