Vegetative characteristics
Kalanchoe chapototii is a perennial plant that reaches heights of up to 45 centimeters and is completely covered with long-stalked, glandular hair . The shoots are upright, the leaves are petiolate. The slender petiole is 8 to 9 millimeters long. The three, rarely five-part leaf blade is 1 to 7.5 inches long and 0.7 to 14 inches wide. The elongated to linear segments have a length of 2.5 to 7 centimeters and a width of 0.6 to 2.5 centimeters. Its tip is pointed. The leaf margin is irregularly lobed and notched.
Generative characteristics
The many-flowered inflorescence is even and reaches a length of 4 to 10 centimeters. The upright flowers are on slender, 6 to 10 millimeter long flower stalks . Your sepals are hairy and the calyx tube 0.8 to 1 millimeter long. Their triangular, pointed calyx lobes are 2 to 3.6 millimeters long and 1.6 to 2 millimeters wide. The golden yellow petals are sparsely hairy. The slightly square corolla tube at its base is 19 to 22 millimeters long. Their egg-shaped corolla lobes are 6 to 8 millimeters long and 5 to 5.5 millimeters wide. They end in a sharp point about 4 millimeters long. The stamens are attached near the tip of the corolla tube and protrude slightly from the flower. The anthers are about 2.2 millimeters long. The linear, blunt nectar flakes are 2.5 to 3 millimeters long. The narrow elongated carpel has a length of 22 to 28 millimeters. The stylus is 15 to 18 millimeters long.
The obovate seeds reach a length of about 1 millimeter.
