Dyckia Tapayuna

Dyckia Tapayuna is not it's name but I guess where it came from. I would like a name if anyone knows it.

I did put this on Facebook to try to get answer.

A BIG thank you to

Constantino Gastaldi  that said on Facebook :
The correct is Dyckia sp from Tapayuna. Tapayuna is a Braziliann indian native name. The tribe is Tapayuna. The plant was found in their lands in Mato Grosso. The plant has no official name. It is a brand new species and unnamed. We refer to it as Dyckia sp from Tapayuna or Dyckia Tapayuna (with a capital letter).

 

What's in Flower in December

This is the first time for this plant to flower and it is a new offset that was potted up just a few months ago. Dyckia estevesii is one plant that wants flower and it can do just that a few times in one year.

Euphorbia millotii
You can tell it's winter here in FL. When the Euphorbia's have no leaves.
With no leaves it still wants to flower

Dyckia tapayuna

Almost looks like the Dyckia above doesn't it? Has good color also and also small spines.

Anyone know anything about Dyckia tapayuna? Is it a good name? It is not in Alphabetical List of Bromeliad Binomials, 12th Edition, June 2010

Some one said on Facebook is named for the native indians that live in the area where it grows.

But is it a good name?
