Dyckia agudensis

A terrestrial Dyckia from the central hills of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, known from only a handful of records near Agudo. Like its relatives it is a stiff, spiny rosette of open rock and needs strong light, sharp drainage and a cool, wetter winter rather than a true drought.
