description
Vegetative characteristics
Kalanchoe poincarei is a two- to three-year-old, completely bare plant that can reach heights of up to 3 meters. Their simple, whitish, tiny red-spotted shoots are erect or prostrate-creeping and rooting. The stalked, streaked , green to bluish green leaves are speckled darker. The stem-encompassing leaf stalk is 1 to 5 centimeters long. Their narrowly ovate to lanceolate, occasionally red leaf blades are 3 to 20 inches long and 2.5 to 10 inches wide. Its tip is blunt to pointed, the base is hollow. The leaf margin carrying the brood buds is notched and more or less sharply serrated in the upper part.
Generative characteristics
The strong, upright inflorescence consists of loose, even panicles and is up to 30 centimeters long. The peduncle reaches a length of up to 50 centimeters. The pendulous flowers are on slender, 6 to 18 millimeter long flower stalks . The inflated, bell-shaped, elongated-round calyx is red or red-green to yellow with red-purple lines and a bluish hoop. The calyx tube is 5 to 25 millimeters long. The triangular, pointed calyx lobes have a length of 7.5 to 9.5 millimeters and are 6.7 to 9 millimeters wide. The tubular-bell-shaped corolla is red, pink-purple, yellow or yellow-pink. The somewhat square corolla tube at its base is 17 to 19 millimeters long. Their obovate to lanceolate, sharply pointed corolla lobes are 11 to 13 millimeters long and 7 to 10 millimeters wide. The stamens are attached below the center of the corolla tube. Upper stamens protrude slightly from the flower. The egg-shaped-kidney-shaped anthers are about 2 millimeters long. The obovate-square, sanded-out nectar flakes have a length of about 2.5 millimeters and are about 1.4 millimeters wide. The ovate-lanceolate carpel has a length of 6 to 10 millimeters. The stylus is 19 to 25 millimeters long.
The obovate seeds reach a length of about 0.5 millimeters.
Systematics and distribution
Kalanchoe poincarei is common in the north of Madagascar on rocks or sand up to heights of 800 meters.
