description
Vegetative characteristics
Kalanchoe tetramera is an upright, presumably perennial plant. Their stalk-round, fleshy shoots are downy-haired when young with a dense indumentum and then bald. The leaf margin is entire, otherwise nothing is known about the leaves .
Generative characteristics
The densely hairy inflorescence is broadly flat. The peduncle is downy hairy. The upright, sparsely, finely downy-haired, yellow flowers are on 5 to 6 millimeters long, downy-haired pedicels . The lanceolate, pointed calyx lobes are about 7 millimeters long and 2.5 millimeters wide. The yellow, urn-shaped, finely downy-haired corolla tube is about 13 millimeters long. Their obovate, pointed corolla lobes have a length of about 10 millimeters and are 5 millimeters wide. The stamens are attached near the tip of the corolla tube and do not protrude from the flower. The elongated anthers are about 1.3 millimeters long. The linear-lanceolate nectar flakes have a length of about 2 millimeters. The carpel has a length of 8 to 9 millimeters. The stylus is about 1.4 millimeters long.
Systematics and distribution
Kalanchoe tetramera is common in Thailand on limestone rocks at heights of 400 meters.
