Hi everybody

Any idea of the specific name of this Kalanchoe? I grew it from a cutting.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

For a good identification, we need a mature plant with flowers.
Are you sure it's a Kalanchoe and not a Plectranthus, for example ?

David1971 · 2013-07-11 12:41:46

Thanks Tom. I'm not sure of the genus and in fact some Plectranthus seem rather similar. Hopefully it will flourish in the future and I could resolve my doubts, although must wait at least one year.

Does some Kalanchoe smells something? Plectranthus does.
(My translate is probably not the best one.)
(Est ce que certains Kalanchoe sont odorants? Car c'est le cas des Plectranthus.)

You mean the leaves ?

Tu penses aux feuilles /you mean the leaves ?

At least the plant posted and two other species I have (blossfeldiana and thyrsiflora) has no special smell

I have also never observed any smell on Kalanchoe leaves.

Tengo ésta planta identificada como Kalanchoe lateritia, pero aún no floreció para poder confirmar su nombre.

Yes, that 's what I mean.

I just found this old post, so don't know if my input might still be helpful... I'm pretty sure that this is a young K. pubescens - the stem is thick, and the leaves are fleshy, petiolate, auriculate and amplexicaul. I can't think of any other species that (even sometimes) has this combination.

About leaves that smell on a Kalanchoe I can only think of K. aromatica, which unfortunately I've never seen in person.

I agree with Ronen, my young K. pubescens looked the same and also had reddish leaf-margins!
