- This is not Dyckia hebdingii!
- Grows close to Dyckia hebdingii some 30km apart and this is close.
- It is bigger than D. hebdingii
- It´s seeds are alpiste (seed bird) like and not round and flowers are tiny and yellow and extra numerous, hundreds of tiny yellow flowers in a big stalk.
Is it pretty? Also never smuggled nor poached to anywhere and that is remarkable, and maybe one of the reasons for its name and description not to be so all over spread. Maybe.
Let us see it in nature:

As you can see it is fighting against the elements, the bushes are covering it yet, dominating it, suffocating, preventing the sun to get to the Dyckia.
This is a typical habitat of the Southern Dyckias. Rocky crevices exposed to the North an filled with organic substrate.
Maybe a Dyckia hebdingii affinis or...the true D. hebdingii may be an affinis of this? Intriguing? Yes, very much too intriguing.
