… has corrected the ID to Kalanchoe × houghtonii in iNaturalist.



Google AI gives the difference between the two, mainly:
Kalanchoe × houghtonii (hybrid mother of millions) and Kalanchoe delagoensis (mother of millions/chandelier plant) are fast-spreading, succulent succulents that propagate via plantlets, Kalanchoe × houghtonii is a hybrid of Kalanchoe delagoensis and K. daigremontiana (mother of thousands). The primary difference is leaf shape: Kalanchoe × houghtonii has broader, triangular to boat-shaped leaves, while Kalanchoe delagoensis has narrow, cylindrical, needle-like leaves.

We have to revise our ids at https://efloraofindia.com/efi/kalanchoe-delagoensis/, accordingly.
