				Add Note: Dutch Vandervort   (2012-06-16) - Genus is definitely Dyckia.  Species is obscure.  Floral characteristics should reveal species.  But, then, what if it is a hybrid.  Leaves look as if they experienced hail when plant was younger. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)Add Note: Dutch Vandervort   (2012-06-16) - I forgot to ask, do you have a key? (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)Add Note: Carlo Morici (2012-06-16) - Yes, it can be hail - we got some little hail in Winter 2010-2011. If so, it grew surprisingly slow in one year. No, I don't have a key.
Thank you for your comments.
