description
The perennial , completely bald, glaucoma Kalanchoe marmorata reaches heights of 50 to 130 centimeters. The shoots are erect to basal prostrate. The sitting leaves have an obovate to broadly obovate or almost circular leaf blade of 20 to 25 centimeters long and about 13 centimeters wide. The glaucoma-gray-green leaf blade often has purple markings on the top and bottom. It is blunt to rounded at the tip and wedge-shaped to half the stem at the base. The leaf margin is entire, wavy, notched or serrate.
The inflorescence, which is up to 30 centimeters long, is a panicose cyme . The upright flowers sit on 15 to 25 millimeter long flower stalks . The calyx tube is 1 to 2 millimeters long and ends in linear-triangular, long narrowed lobes that are 5 to 17 millimeters long and 2 to 6 millimeters wide. The corolla is pure white, rarely cream-colored and sometimes very pale pink. Their lower parts are greenish. The corolla tube is 1.9 to 125 centimeters long and has lanceolate to wide, obovate tips 6 to 250 millimeters long and 6 to 13 millimeters wide with an attached tip. The stamens are attached above the center of the corolla tube. The uppermost stamens protrude briefly from the corolla tube. Their elongated anthers have pointed glands and are between 0.7 and 2.5 millimeters long. The linear nectar flakes are 4 to 12.5 millimeters long. Seen from the side, the 9 to 30 millimeter long carpel is ovate-lanceolate. The stylus is between 9 and 80 millimeters long.
