Kalanchoe rhombopilosa is a species of the genus Kalanchoe in the thick-leaf family(Crassulaceae).
description
The persistent , small and not very branched Kalanchoe rhombopilosa reaches heights of 10 to 20 centimeters. Their thick, woody shoots grow upright or spread out and are long hairy. The fleshy leaves are alternate or opposite and sit on 1 to 3 millimeter long petioles . They are 2 to 3 millimeters thick, bluish, gray, gray-green, green-yellow with numerous spots or dark green and without spots. Their obovate to more or less triangular leaf blades are slightly concave on the top and convex on the underside. The leaf blade is rounded at the tip and notched irregularly, the base is strongly narrowed-wedge-shaped.
The inflorescence is a slender, branched and bald panicle with a length of 8 to 12 centimeters. The upright flowers sit on 1.2 to 2.5 millimeter long flower stalks . The green-yellow calyx tube is 0.2 to 0.3 millimeters long and ends in circular to elongated lobes that are 1.2 to 1.5 millimeters long and 1.2 to 1.4 millimeters wide. The corolla is green-yellow to pink with purple lines. The 3.5 to 4 millimeter long corolla tube has egg-shaped, blunt tips 2 to 3 millimeters long and 1.5 to 2 millimeters wide. The stamens are attached a little above the center of the corolla tube and protrude from the corolla tube. The anthers are egg-shaped and about 0.6 millimeters long. The almost square nectar flakes are about 0.4 millimeters in size. The carpel is between 3 and 3.5 millimeters, the stylus about 2.5 millimeters long.
