Kalanchoe cf. tetraphylla Perrier

ISI 2003-31. Kalanchoe cf. tetraphylla Perrier.

This is a diminutive ally of K. tetraphylla. Like that species it has pubescent obovate leaves, but these are only 3-4 in. long and are a bright lime green and with more coarsely serrated margins. The flowers are of comparable size, about ½ an inch long and campanulate, and are pale green rather than dull yellowish and are borne on short inflorescences barely taller than the rosettes.
