The genus is predominantly native to the Old World. Several hybrids within Kalanchoe are known: Kalanchoe thyrsiflora – flapjacks, desert cabbage, white lady, geelplakkie, meelplakkie, plakkie.Kalanchoe synsepala – cup kalanchoe, walking kalanchoe.Kalanchoe rhombopilosa – pies from heaven.Kalanchoe longiflora – long-flower kalanchoe.Kalanchoe hildebrantii – silver teaspoons.Kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri – donkey ears, life plant.Kalanchoe daigremontiana – Devil's backbone, Mexican-hat plant, mother of thousands.Kalanchoe blossfeldiana – flaming katy, Christmas kalanchoe, florist kalanchoe, Madagascar widow's-thrill.Kalanchoe beharensis – velvet leaf, felt plant, felt bush.In Mandarin Chinese, it does not seem very close in pronunciation ( qiélán cài, but possibly jiālán cài or gālán cài as the character 伽 has multiple pronunciations), but the Cantonese gālàahm choi is closer.
Kalanchoe ceratophylla and Kalanchoe laciniata are both called 伽蓝菜 (apparently "Buddhist monastery herb") in China. The name came from the Cantonese name 伽藍菜 ( Jyutping: gaa 1 laam 4 coi 3). Etymology Īdanson cited Georg Joseph Kamel (Camellus) as his source for the name. these were formalised as subgenera by Smith and Figueiredo (2018). Kitchingia is now regarded as a synonym for Kalanchoe, while Bryophyllum has also been treated as a separate genus, since species of Bryophyllum appear to be nested within Kalanchoe on molecular phylogenetic analysis, Bryophyllum is considered as a section of the former, dividing the genus into three sections, Kitchingia, Bryophyllum, and Eukalanchoe. The genus Bryophyllum was described by Salisbury in 1806 and the genus Kitchingia was created by Baker in 1881. The genus Kalanchoe was first described by the French botanist Michel Adanson in 1763. The petals are fused into a tube, in a similar way to some related genera such as Cotyledon. Kalanchoe flowers are divided into 4 sections with 8 stamens. Kalanchoes open their flowers by growing new cells on the inner surface of the petals to force them outwards, and on the outside of the petals to close them. The largest, Kalanchoe beharensis from Madagascar, can reach 6 m (20 ft) tall, but most species are less than 1 m (3 ft) tall. Most are shrubs or perennial herbaceous plants, but a few are annual or biennial. The majority of kalanchoes require around 6-8 hours of sunlight a day a few cannot tolerate this, and survive with bright, indirect sunlight to bright shade. A Kalanchoe species was one of the first plants to be sent into space, sent on a resupply to the Soviet Salyut 1 space station in 1979. iː/ KAL-ən- KOH-ee, also written Kalanchöe or Kalanchoë, is a genus of about 125 species of tropical, succulent plants in the stonecrop family Crassulaceae, mainly native to Madagascar and tropical Africa.
