description
The perennial Kalanchoe millotii is a strongly branched and dense cluster-forming small shrub that reaches heights of 40 to 100 centimeters. It is completely covered with thick, tiny, whitish, star-shaped hair . Their upright shoots are lignified and strong. The fleshy, thick, flat, fresh green to greyish green leaves are petiolate. The 5 to 18 millimeter long petiole is fleshy, furrowed on the top and slightly enlarged at the base. The obovate, egg-shaped to circular leaf blade is 3 to 6.5 inches long and wide. The tip is rounded and ends in a pointed tooth. The base is wedge-shaped, the serrated leaf margin is irregularly cupped with broad, pointed teeth.
The inflorescence is a more or less dense ebensträußige panicle . The upright flowers sit on thick, 3 to 4 millimeter long flower stalks . The yellow-green to orange, glandular-hairy calyx tube is 4 to 5 millimeters long and ends in triangular, pointed lobes that are 3.5 to 4.5 millimeters long and 3.2 to 3.5 millimeters wide.
The corolla is tubular, yellow-green to orange-red. The cylindrical, 9 to 11 millimeter long coronet tube has linear-rectangular, egg-shaped to rounded, pointed tips 3 to 4 millimeters long and 2 to 2.5 millimeters wide. The stamens are attached above the center of the corolla tube and all protrude from the corolla tube. The yellow anthers are kidney-shaped and about 0.7 millimeters in size. The trapezoid-shaped nectar flakes are about 1 millimeter long. The elongate carpel is 7-9 millimeters, of the stylus between 2.5 and 3.5 millimeters long.
