Dyckia discoides a new, brand new species from Santa Catarina


Undescribed, unseen, unknown
Dyckia discoides (A name I prefer and hope it will be the chosen one.)
It is a mountain dweller from West in Santa Catarina.
The plant forms thick trunks up to 60 cm high and topped by
one , two or three discs of foliage resembling to dishes oposing to each other.
It is a brand new behavior in Dyckias.


  
The plant is  a block buster indeed and a relative and affinis of Dyckia magnifica.
I would like to name it Dyckia discoides or Dyckia mirabilis if I had the chance to do it.
