Kalanchoe Mortagei

	Kalanchoe Mortagei ''Kalanchoe mortagei'' is a species of ''Kalanchoe'' (section ''Bryophyllum'') native to northern Madagascar Madagascar (; mg, Madagasikara, ), officially the Republic of Madagascar ( mg, Repoblikan'i Madagasikara, links=no, ; french: République de Madagascar), is an island country in the Indian Ocean, approximately off the coast of East Africa .... It is very similar to ''K. suarezensis'', and both of them used to be mistakenly treated as varieties of a totally different species ''K. poincarei''. ''K. mortagei'' differs by having auriculate to peltate leaves, while the leaf base of ''K. suarezensis'' is attenuate to truncate.

	Kalanchoe ''Kalanchoe'' , 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. 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. 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. Description Most are shrubs or perennial herbaceous plants, but a few are annual or biennial. The largest, '' Kalanchoe beharensis'' from Madagascar, can reach tall, but most species are less than tall. 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. Kalanchoe flowers are divided into 4 sections with 8 stamens. The petals are fused into a tube, in a similar way to s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Bryophyllum ''Bryophyllum'' (from the Greek ''bryon/bryein'' = sprout, ''phyllon'' = leaf) is a group of plant species of the family Crassulaceae native to Madagascar. It is a section or subgenus within the genus ''Kalanchoe'', and was formerly placed at the level of genus. This section is notable for vegetatively growing small plantlets on the fringes of the leaves; these eventually drop off and root. These plantlets arise from mitosis of meristematic-type tissue in notches in the leaves. Nowadays, bryophyllums are naturalized in many parts of the tropics and subtropics, and deliberately cultivated for their attractiveness or for their interesting reproduction as a vegetative reproductive plant. Taxonomy Species of ''Bryophyllum'' are nested within ''Kalanchoe'' on molecular phylogenetic analysis. Therefore, ''Bryophyllum'' should be a section of ''Kalanchoe'' rather than a separate genus. The number of species within ''Bryophyllum'' varies with definitions of this section. ''Br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Madagascar Madagascar (; mg, Madagasikara, ), officially the Republic of Madagascar ( mg, Repoblikan'i Madagasikara, links=no, ; french: République de Madagascar), is an island country in the Indian Ocean, approximately off the coast of East Africa across the Mozambique Channel. At Madagascar is the world's List of island countries, second-largest island country, after Indonesia. The nation is home to around 30 million inhabitants and consists of the island of Geography of Madagascar, Madagascar (the List of islands by area, fourth-largest island in the world), along with numerous smaller peripheral islands. Following the prehistoric breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, Madagascar split from the Indian subcontinent around 90 million years ago, allowing native plants and animals to evolve in relative isolation. Consequently, Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot; over 90% of wildlife of Madagascar, its wildlife is endemic. Human settlement of Madagascar occurred during or befo ...

	Kalanchoe Suarezensis ''Kalanchoe suarezensis'' is a species of ''Kalanchoe'' (section ''Bryophyllum'') native to northern Madagascar Madagascar (; mg, Madagasikara, ), officially the Republic of Madagascar ( mg, Repoblikan'i Madagasikara, links=no, ; french: République de Madagascar), is an island country in the Indian Ocean, approximately off the coast of East Africa .... It is cultivated as ornamental plants, but often misidentified as other species like ''K. gastonis-bonnieri'', ''K. mortagei'' and ''K. poincarei''. ''K. gastonis-bonnieri'' differs by more or less having brownish spots on leaves, while the leaves of ''K. suarezensis'' are spotless. ''K. mortagei'' differs by having auriculate to peltate leaves, while the leaf base of ''K. suarezensis'' is attenuate to truncate. ''K. poincarei'' is a sprawling species not known in cultivation, very different from all the species mentioned above. Another species that may be confused with ''K. suarezensis'' is ''K. laetivirens''. Both ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Endemic Flora Of Madagascar Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. '' Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
