Kalanchoe macrochlamys

A Kalanchoe described by Perrier de la Bâthie in 1928 from northern Madagascar. Its records come from the very wet Sambirano and Tsaratanana region at roughly 300 to 1,300 m. Treat it as a humid-country Kalanchoe that wants warmth, bright filtered light and steadier moisture than desert species.
