description
The perennial Kalanchoe orgyalis is a heavily branched shrub that reaches heights of 1 to 2 meters. It is covered with characteristic, star-shaped hair . Its upright shoots are branched and strong. Young shoots are hairy long. The tough, long-haired, stalked leaves are gray-green to red-brown on the upper side and green to silver on the underside. The 5 to 15 millimeter long petiole is runny. The egg-shaped, egg-shaped-spatulate, elliptical to lanceolate leaf blade is often folded like a gutter, 5 to 15 centimeters long and 3.5 to 10 centimeters wide. It is pointed at the tip and narrowed at the base. The leaf margin is entire.
The inflorescence is a more or less dense ebensträußiger Thyrsus from 45 to 100 centimeters in length. The upright to spreading flowers sit on 5 to 15 millimeter long flower stalks . The fleshy calyx tube is almost missing and ends in egg-shaped to circular, pointed to slightly thorn-pointed lobes that are 3 to 5 millimeters long and 1.4 to 2.8 millimeters wide. The urn-shaped to four-edged corolla is very fleshy, yellow, bald or with long hairs. The 6 to 15 millimeter long corolla tube has spread, egg-shaped-triangular, pointed-thorn-pointed tips 2.5 to 5 millimeters long and 3 to 6.5 millimeters wide. The stamens are attached above the center of the corolla tube and do not protrude from the corolla tube. The anthers are egg-shaped and 1.5 to 2 millimeters long. The trapezoidal to semicircular nectar flakes are about 1.5 millimeters in size. The carpel is from 6.5 to 10 millimeters, of the stylus between 2 and 2.5 millimeters long.
