About Hybrid Mother of Millions
A usually unbranched succulent subshrub arising from Kalanchoe daigremontiana and K. delagoensis. Narrow lanceolate leaves fold upward lengthwise, with green upper surfaces and purple-brown blotches beneath. Marginal crenations bear numerous plantlets on short gutter-like flanges. A terminal branched flowering head carries pendent pinkish-purple-to-reddish-purple tubular bells with four lobes. Established wild occurrence warrants observations of occupied cover, reproductive plants and new recruits. These measurements can test persistence and spread. The reviewed accounts do not quantify an island-wide effect on Kauaʻi native vegetation.
