Kalanchoe pinnata Goethe Plant UD9232011 001 Practice what I preach:
Soon after I wrote about how to start young plants from leaf of one Kalanchoe… I had a chance to pick up a fallen leaf (after a heavy rain storm) from a herb garden… leaf of Kalanche pinnata… or Pathar kunchi (in Bengali) .. there were NO baby plantlets on this leaf, just a fallen leaf, looking miserable, wet, muddy..  some what grey… may have fallen a few hours before I spotted it.. brought it home and I planted it in one of my Petunia pots where there was little central plot of soil unused (ha ha), fixed with a twig of tulasi plant .. and anchored the other end with a flower stalk from a fallen flower of my Hibiscus viceroy ( I showed you its pictures earlier) …Planted on 7th September…and by 10th had small tiny sprouts, which grew to respectable size by 16th  (first photograph) and by 23rd had second set of leaves in the sprouts (grey circles in figure 2) .
Kalanchoe pinnata is a favorite plant of mine, eversince I saw its red flowers, and the tiny baby plants, sometimes they start sprouting right on the plant itself on the oldest leaves... Naturalist par excel-lance Mr. Goethe had written about this plant… calling it the MIRACLE PLANT
Even though it is not a native Indain plant, having transplanted itself from Africa/ Madagaskar to India (and much of the temperate zone of the world), the tribals and villagers have identified useful of this plant in dissolving kidney and U. Bladder stone….  and hence the name Pathar Kunchi…. = one that crushes the stone….
The earlier conversation about this process is in … thread about Donkey ear Kalanchoe… Kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri that  … had diagnosed.  Its at this thread URL:
http://groups.google.com/indiantreepix/thread/c12… .
Stay tuned for the mature plants and flowers by the summer…of 2012…

Yes it is Kalanchoe pinnata
Syn. Bryophyllum pinnatum Syn.: B.calycinum Host plant for Red pierrot butterflies.
I have almost always spotted these butterflies in nearby area. and same is vice versa…if you observe Red pierrot search for Kalanchoe and you will find it nearby.

Bryophyllum pinnatum – Flora of Madhya Pradesh:
Photographed dis herb at Betul, MP on 14th Dec 11. Recognized it with it’s round-toothed edged leaves.
It was high above d wall in a private garden. Later when i saw pics I realized dat it was blooming ( starting). I couldnt see blooms frm below. Attaching cropped pics of blooms
.

Botanical name- Bryophyllum pinnatum
In Hindi we call it- Pashan bhed /Pathar-chur/ patharchatta.
It’s a medicinal plant.


Yes … Nice capture


sorry to say … but may not be b. piinatum… there is something strange about the inflorescence of this plant… look at the last picture….
the ones I have seen and grown in two different continents… have rather profuse flowers on long upright inflorescence… and not these spindly single little one this plant has in not quite the thing….
can some one please look at this… I am not a botanist… but to my eyes this is very VERY different…
no matter what the nursery guy may have labelled it as…
I suspect: several bryophyllum plants may be called patharchur, may be???


Yes, Bryophyllum pinnatum, from me. There are many varieties of this plant species

Kalanchoe Species?

I had a discussion in this regard, in my earlier thread


Kalanchoe species. Could be K.laxiflora


Kalanchoe species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available)


May be Kalanchoe pinnata as per images herein.

Kalanchoe pinnata (Lam.) Pers.:

Yes. To me looks close to images and details at Kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri Raym.-Hamet & H. Perrier

Looks different from images at Kalanchoe pinnata (Lam.) Pers.


Thank you …, for pointing this out. …, I think you are right. It is Kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri.
