- FIGURE 4. Phenological transitions in the leaves of Kalanchoe ×descoingsii (R. Shtein 501). A. Transition from the distal, attenuate, oblanceolate leaves, to the medial, auriculate oblong leaves. B. Medial leaves showing the pink, distinctly blotched petiole, pink margins, and central veining pattern, minute adaxial maculation, and the overall bright light green leaf colour. The leaf blade is oblong, roundtipped, minutely auriculate at the base, strongly dentate, and well-developed bulbil pedestals with abscission scars can be seen in the apical 1⁄2. C. Medial leaves showing the round-obtuse apex, oblong leaf blade shape, and colouration. D. Leaf in the basal 1⁄4 of the stem, close to wilting and abaxially striped, showing spathulate pedestals subducting large denticules all around the leaf blade margin with a few bulbils still attached, a deeply auriculate leaf blade base, as well as a similar colouration as in F, but with the blade overall a darker olive green. E–F. Comparative view of the K. tubiflora-like bulbils that are still attached to a leaf, and rooted bulbils with the appearance of those of K. laetivirens. F. Basal, obtuse-tipped leaf with darker colouration, a generally oblong leaf blade shape, but showing the characteristic widened and auriculate base. The dark colouration and below-the-leaf position of the still-attached bulbils is notable, compared to the light green, K. laetivirens-like bulbils in the background. Each bulbil is attached to a dedicated pedestal (obscured from view by the leaf blade margins). Photographs: Ronen Shtein.
