Origin and Habitat: Kalanchoe linearifolia is not rare between Ampanihy and Tanjona Vohimena. Madagascar.
在原产地还是很常见的
Habitat and ecology: This species grows on limestone in xerophytic thorn-bush, where the plants often receive support from surrounding shrubs, and often grows in association Kalanchoe beharensis and Kalanchoe
delagoense. This species has red flowers without which it would be hard to separate from the other vegetation.
生境通常是干旱的石灰岩地带，长有耐旱的带刺灌木从中。这个种常常会和仙女之舞和棒叶长在一起。花是红色的
Description: Kalanchoe linearifolia is a glabrous, perennial, regularly branched shrubs, 1-1.5 m tall. As the plants get larger tend to become untidy and may need the support of surrounding vegetation, or branches fall off. The leaves are cylindrical and succulent. It produces purple urn-shaped flowers in terminal inflorescences.
Stems: Terete, very woody, some-what climbing. The flowering branches are stiff and erect and carry in their upper part, from twelve to fifteen pairs of opposite leaves. The first upper internode is approx 4-6.5 cm long, the second is c. 6 cm long, the third is 2 to 3 cm long, the fourth is 2 cm, the fifth is 1.2 cm and the sixth is 0.5 cm long. The foliar scars, are small, lateral, not meeting to each other and disappear rapidly.
Leaves: Decussate (opposite), sessile, somewhat canaliculate (furrowed) on their upper surface, long-cylindrical, 3-13 cm long, red-brown, 4 to 10 mm wide, somewhat constricted in their lower part, bu not amplexicaul, attenuated in their upper part to the acute apex. This inflorescence is sometimes formed by a two-sided cyme several times branched, sometimes composed of three primary pedicels carrying a branched cyme. Erect, fleshy and dilated at the top, the pedicels are 6 to 8.50 mm long.
Inflorescences: The flowering branches are not distinct from the vegetative shoot and are terminated at the summit by a laxly thyrsoid inflorescence 4-13 cm long, and 5-13 cm wide. Pedicels 6-8 mm long.
Flowers: Erect to spreading, bright scarlet, urn-shaped. Calix green, red-tinged, very fleshy, tube 2-3 mm wide, lobes deltoid (triangular), acute, c. 3-4 x 4.5 mm. Corolla urceolate, very fleshy, brilliant red, tube 4-angled, 7 -11 mm long, narrowed in the lower part to the non-dilated base, gradually attenuating towards the apex, where they narrow rather abruptly and terminate in long acute segments, these segments are fleshy, carinate ( with a conspicuous keel) 3-5 mm long and 1.2-4 mm wide. The corolla lobes are somewhat recurved outwards. Stamens free. The top of filaments, are inserted between two contiguous petals just above the middle of the corollary tube, and does not reach the middle of the segments of the corolla (not exerted). Anthers ovate-oblong, 2-2.5 mm. Nectar-glands rectangular, 0.6 x 1.5 - 2 mm. Style 2-3 mm long.
Seeds: Obovate, c. 2.5 mm.
Cultivation and Propagation: Kalanchoe linearifolia is a new small species that can provide some interest for fans, especially for its brilliant red blooms. It easy to culture and makes an interesting blooming potted plant and is rewarding as indoor plant. It's grown primarily for its flowers. They'll even bloom in low light, making them good for indoor dish gardens.
Potting mix: Use a soil based potting mixture with the addition of a small amount of coarse sand, pumice or lava grit to ensure good drainage. They grow best in clay pots for aeration and need drainage holes in the bottom. Setting the container on a dish filled with rocks or gravel provides extra drainage.
Exposure: Keep this plant out of strong, direct sunlight; although exposure to the morning sun is fine. In the home should be grown in sunny window.
