Vegetative characteristics
Kalanchoe bouvetii is a perennial plant that reaches heights of 10 to 40 centimeters. Their creeping shoots with erect ends are covered with long simple hair as well as shorter, glandular hair. The leaves of sterile shoots are thick and more or less long with simple hairs. The petiole is 5 to 6 millimeters long. The leaf blade is 1.5 to 3 inches long and 0.5 to 1 inches wide. The leaves of flowering shoots are thin and stalked 7 to 10 millimeters long. Their green, brown spotted, elongated to somewhat linear blade has a length of 6 to 7.5 centimeters and a width of 0.5 to 2.5 centimeters. Its tip is pointed to blunt, and the base is narrowed. The leaf margin is notched irregularly.
Generative characteristics
The inflorescence consists of panicles on the outside and reached a length of 3 to 19 centimeters. The pendulous, long hairy and glandular flowers are on long hairy and glandular, 3 to 7 millimeter long pedicels . The calyx tube is 2 to 3.5 millimeters long. The triangular, slightly pointed calyx lobes are 2 to 3.5 millimeters long and 1.5 to 2.4 millimeters wide. The corolla is white or pink to purple in color. The more or less square corolla tube is 11 to 23 millimeters long. Their obovate, pointed corolla lobes are 3 to 6 millimeters long and 2.5 to 4.5 millimeters wide. The stamens are attached to or above the center of the corolla tube and do not protrude from the flower. The egg-shaped anthers are 0.5 to 1 millimeter long. The linear, pointed nectar flakes are about 3 millimeters long. The elongated egg-shaped carpel has a length of 5 to 8 millimeters. The stylus is 7 to 17 millimeters long.
The obovate seeds reach a length of about 0.7 millimeters.
