description
Vegetative characteristics
Kalanchoe schimperiana is a perennial plant that reaches heights of 40 to 100 centimeters. Their shoots are glandular-downy-haired or glabrous below and downy-haired above. The usually glandular, downy-haired or occasionally bare leaves are petiolate. The petiole is 2 to 3 inches long. The egg-shaped to almost circular leaf blade is 10 to 11 inches long and 8 to 10 inches wide. Its tip is blunt, the base suddenly contracted into the stem. The leaf margin is crenate to serrated.
Generative characteristics
The little-flowered, densely glandular-hairy, sticky inflorescence is equilateral and up to 20 centimeters long. The upright, more or less densely glandular-downy-haired flowers are on 5 to 20 millimeter long pedicels . Your green calyx-tube is 1 to 4 millimeters long. The lanceolate, pointed, pointed calyx lobes are 10 to 40 millimeters long and 3 to 6 millimeters wide. The white corolla is often veined yellow-green. The corolla tube is 50 to 65 millimeters long. Their ovate to broadly obovate corolla lobes have a pointed tip and are 10 to 30 millimeters long and 8 to 15 millimeters wide. The stamens are attached above the center of the corolla tube and do not or hardly protrude from the flower. The elongated anthers are 2 to 3 millimeters long. The linear-awl, forked nectar scales have a length of 3.5 to 7 millimeters and are about 1 millimeter wide. The elongated lanceolate carpel has a length of 18 to 22 millimeters. The stylus is 32 to 40 millimeters long.
