Ok,it is in very bad conditions but it is alive and here with me.
Dyckia mauriziae is a white distic already described super ultra rare Brazilian Dyckia.
It lives in a ravine like formation covered by fallen leaves of the Brazilian Cerrado.

The leaves are formed in a fanned disposition and they are covered by large white scales.

Here just a timid porr cared plant but it will improve.

Dyckia new found distic species.

I know almost nothing about this new one distic Dyckia but I did not resist to show it here.

Brazil has so many to be found, described and seen by the very first time.

Flowers how are them? The plant lives arched and not up righted.

Wow! A gift from a scientist. a Braziliam botanist.
