Some hints and considerations on Dyckia hebdingii

Dyckia hebdingii type presents one look only and it is this one bellow:


Dyckia hebdingii lives only in the wilderness in Rio Grande do Sul, the Southernmost Brazilian state, and presents an ample territory.
within its territory live a lot of other Dyckia species a remotifolia, choristaminea, jonesiana... Some were described as a separated species as Dyckia domfelicianensis from close to the very small Dom Feliciano town:

In its territory one sometimes can not find the hebdingii but its hybrids as the above Dyckia dom felicianensis and bellow Dyckia julianae, both hebdingii hybrids described as species:


Dyckia julianae is clearly a Dyckia hebdingii X Dyckia choristaminea natural cross.


 Every spot where  Dyckia hebdingii appears a variation, a form or a hybrid is shown and most of the cases no hebdingii are there to be seen anymore. In most cases, the resulting plant is literally a breathtakingly beautiful one. See some below:
