Those who appreciate the small ones would love this new hybrid Dyckia.
Dyckia platyphylla, in fact Dyckia marnier-lapostollei and Dyckia brevifolia cross,
is the father plant here.
Dyckia platyphylla never existed for real as a species and it just exist in the papers.
What does exist is a hybrid plant found in Rio Grande do Sul in a particular collection
and described as a true species. Once it was said to exist in wilderness in Bahia, then in Minas Gerais, then in Rio Grande do Sul than people gave up insisting on this.
Dyckia Patyphylla is a big and robust plant and this here is a very small one plant made with a Dyckia marnier-lapostollei (one of the many forms) as mother.
This by itself would do great married to a Dyckia fosteriana-fosteriana..the seed pods are all made yet.
