description
Vegetative characteristics
Kalanchoe lindmannii is a perennial , completely bare plant that reaches heights of up to 60 centimeters. Their roots are bulbous. The simple, upright, robust and thick shoots are occasionally inflated at their base to a diameter of 2 centimeters. The sitting leaves are strong. The egg-shaped, elongated to oblong linear leaf blade is 2.5 to 12 centimeters (rarely up to 18 centimeters) long and 1 to 4 centimeters wide. Its tip is blunt to pointed, drawn together and then somewhat enlarged towards the base. The leaf margin is entire to slightly wavy.
Generative characteristics
The dense inflorescence consists of panicles on the outside . It reaches a length of 4.5 to 20 centimeters and is just as wide. The upright flowers are on 8 to 16 millimeter long, slender flower stalks . Their bell-shaped calyx is shorter, the same length or often longer than the crown . The calyx tube is 1.2 to 1.6 millimeters long. The linear, egg-shaped-linear, slightly pointed, somewhat thorn-pointed calyx tips are 6 to 17 millimeters long and 2.4 to 3.4 millimeters wide. The almost urn-shaped corolla tube is yellow and 9 to 13 millimeters long. Their egg-shaped, egg-shaped-elongated, pointed thorn-pointed corolla lobes are 4 to 7 millimeters long and 2.5 to 3.5 millimeters wide. The stamens are attached above the center of the corolla tube and do not protrude from the flower. The egg-shaped, blunt anthers are about 1.25 millimeters long. The almost linear, sanded-out nectar flakes are 4 to 6 millimeters long and 0.6 to 1 millimeters wide. The elongated, narrowed to the tip carpel has a length of 10 to 13 millimeters. The stylus is 0.4 to 0.6 millimeters long.
The oblong obovate seeds reach a length of 1.1 to 1.3 millimeters.
Systematics and distribution
Kalanchoe lindmannii is common in Angola in dry forests on stony soils at altitudes of 1800 to 2000 meters.
