Bernard Descoings redefined Bryophyllum as 26 species, [1] and molecular phylogenetic analysis shows that his definition is almost monophyletic, except that K. beauverdii and K. delagoensis (hence as well as their relatives and hybrids) should be included while K. pubescens and K. streptantha excluded. [2] [6] Therefore, Bryophyllum comprises ...
Kalanchoe daigremontiana, formerly known as Bryophyllum daigremontianum and commonly called mother of thousands, alligator plant or Mexican hat plant, is a succulent plant native to Madagascar. Like other members of Bryophyllum (now included in the genus Kalanchoe ), [ 1 ] it can propagate vegetatively from plantlets that develop on its leaf ...
At the same time, in London, the botanist Richard Anthony Salisbury described the same plant from a specimen received from Bengal, under the name of Bryophyllum calycinum, [10] and at the same time created the new genus Bryophyllum. [11] The specific Latin specific epithet "pinnata" is the feminine form of the Latin adjective pinnatus, meaning ...
The section Bryophyllum—formerly an independent genus—contains species such as the "air-plant" Kalanchoe pinnata. In these plants, new individuals develop vegetatively as plantlets, also known as bulbils or gemmae, at indentations in leaf margins. These young plants eventually drop off and take root.
Kalanchoe delagoensis, formerly known as Bryophyllum delagoense [1] and commonly called mother of millions or chandelier plant, [3] is a succulent plant native to Madagascar. Like other members of Bryophyllum (now included in Kalanchoe [2]), it is able to propagate vegetatively from plantlets that develop on its leaf margins.
Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi, formerly known as Bryophyllum fedtschenkoi, is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae.It is native to Madagascar. [1] It is widely sold as a house or garden plant [2] that has established itself in the wild in some southern parts of the United States of America.
Kalanchoe laetivirens is a species of Kalanchoe (section Bryophyllum).It was thought to be a hybrid between K. daigremontiana and K. laxiflora (syn. Bryophyllum crenatum), and therefore a group of invalid names for such a hybrid, including Kalanchoe crenodaigremontiana, Kalanchoe crenato-daigremontiana, Bryophyllum crenodaigremontianum and Bryophyllum crenato-daigremontianum, are just synonyms ...
Plants such as some Iridaceae and Agavoideae grow cormlets in the axils of their inflorescences. These fall and in favourable circumstances they have effectively a whole season's start over fallen seeds. Similarly, some Crassulaceae, such as Bryophyllum, develop and drop plantlets
