Description

[edit]

Kalanchoe marnieriana is a glabrous perennial to 11.5 inches tall. The flowers are yellow, orange to pink tubes.[3][4]

The species is closely related to Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi, sharing the same habit, biology and ecology.[3]

Kalanchoe can be toxic to humans and animals.[5]

Distribution and habitat

[edit]

Kalanchoe marnieriana grows in south-eastern Madagascar in moist, rocky places.[3]

Taxonomy

In 1954, Hermann Johannes Heinrich Jacobsen described Kalanchoe marnieriana, publishing his findings in Handbok i Skandinaviens Flora (ed. 11).[2]

Etymology

[edit]

Kalanchoe: Generic name derived from the Cantonese word "Kalan Chauhuy", meaning 'that which falls and grows'.[6]
