German title:—Xeromorphe Bromelien aus Brasilien (VII): Dyckia altoana, eine neue, sukkulente Art aus Goiás und zwei neue Kombinationen in Encholirium

Abstract:—A new, succulent Dyckia species (Bromeliaceae subfam. Pitcairnioideae) from
the northern part of the state of Goiás, Central Brazil is described: Dyckia altoana.
A possible relative might be D. platyphylla from the neighbouring state of
Tocantins. The differences are outlined. Up to now about 35 species are known
from Goiás, but they all differ by conspicuous characters. Two species recently
described as Dyckia, D. avacanoeira and D. oreadica, are here newly combined
in Encholirium.
