Dyckia dusenii

A Dyckia from the uplands of Paraná in southern Brazil, known from few records and little published detail. Like its relatives of the region, it is best treated as a spiny terrestrial rosette of sunny rocky outcrops and campos, with warm wet summers and a cool, still fairly wet winter.
