The new found dyckia species from Subida, Ibirama-SC

This seems to e a very rare plant as  just a very few specimen were found.

It grows on a perpendicular wall of a slope close to the lane of a very  important road the BR-470.

The road maintainer team uses a  machine to remove the loose rocks from the slope and  also these marvels are removed and destroyed.
These pictures taken in nature were already show here and I want to share the picture taken of a plant under cultivation. The plant characteristics are  unique!

Here in these first two pictures you can clearly notice the remains of two flower stalks.

Notice how long are these leaves.

The curious is Dyckia brevifolia lives some 150meters down from this spot and close to the Itajaí-açu  river rocky margins where the river turns its water into fast white ones.
Dyckia ibiramensis lives some 10km away on a Itajaí-açu tributary.

 

The plant does resembles Dyckia encholirioides but for sure it is  far different.

Petals are yellow.

Its pendant extra long leaves make a show.
