description
Vegetative characteristics
Kalanchoe hametiorum is a perennial plant that reaches heights of 20 to 150 centimeters and is covered everywhere with a dense brownish indumentum . The simple, stem-round shoot is erect, straight and long hairy. The seated, fleshy leaves are opposite or rarely alternate on the shoot. The long hairy, linear or oblong to narrowly elliptical leaf blade is 4.5 to 11 inches long and 0.4 to 2.7 inches wide. Its tip is blunt to slightly pointed, the base is narrowed and half encompasses the stem. The leaf margin is entire, wavy or slightly notched.
Generative characteristics
The inflorescence is a little-flowered, evenly outer cymes and reaches a length of 3 to 12 centimeters. The upright flowers are on 3.5 to 11 millimeter long peduncles . Its green to yellowish green calyx is hairy on the outside and glandular hair on the inside. The spindle-shaped urn-shaped calyx tube is 5.5 to 8 millimeters long. The triangular, lanceolate to slightly ovate, pointed, fleshy calyx tips are 5 to 10 millimeters long and 2.3 to 3.5 millimeters wide. The yellowish to salmon-colored petals have short glandular hairs. The cylindrical, urn-shaped, blunt, square corolla tube is 9 to 11 millimeters long. Their elongated lanceolate to almost egg-shaped, pointed corolla lobes have a length of 3.5 to 5.8 millimeters and are about 1.7 millimeters wide. The stamens are attached above the center of the corolla tube and do not or hardly protrude from the flower. The ovate-elongated anthers are about 1 millimeter long. The linear, sanded-out nectar flakes are 1.3 to 2 millimeters long and about 0.3 millimeters wide. The elongated carpel has a length of 6 to 8 millimeters. The stylus is 1.6 to 2.5 millimeters long.
The almost egg-shaped seeds reach a length of 0.5 millimeters.
