Dyckia species (DJC-RC Brazil '02) VIPP 3-16-20 At any rate it isDyckia species (DJC RC Brazil '02) This is an attractive species of Dyckia that Ray Coleman and myself brought back from Brazil in 2002. Unfortunately, as sometimes happens, we lost the tag on the only plant and now do not recall its exact origins. Nonetheless it is a handsome plant that grows to about 12 inches across with narrow leaves of brownish red, dusted with silver, bearing large marginal spines.
