Christmas Kalanchoe, Flor-da-fortuna, Interlagos, SP, Brazil

            SN/NC: Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana, Crassulaceae Family

K. blossfeldiana is native to Madagascar (USDA-ARS, 2016). It has naturalized in China, India, North, Central and South America, the West Indies and on many islands in the Pacific Ocean (see the Distribution Table for details; Ministerio Medio Ambiente, 2012; Jørgensen et al., 2015; Flora of North America Editorial Committee, 2016; PIER, 2016). K. blossfeldiana is cultivated as ornamental in the Netherlands (Kalanchoe Growers, 2016) and it is probably also cultivated in other European countries. Because the species is cultivated worldwide, its current distribution range is probably wider than the range reported here. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is probably the most popular and widely cultivated Kalanchoe species. It is often planted as an indoor potted plant and as an outdoor ornamental. This species has escaped from cultivation and can be found naturalized in disturbed and waste areas near cultivation. Currently it is listed as invasive in the Dominican Republic, Chile and the Galapagos Islands. English: Christmas kalanchoe; kalanchoe; Madagascar widow's-thrill; widow’s thrill. Spanish: bruja; mala madre; tope tope

Nomes Populares: Calanchoê, Calancoê, Calandiva, Flor-da-fortuna, Flor-do-papai, Kalanchoê, Kalandiva. Planta suculenta, de folhas com margens rendadas. O calanchoê tem um significado especial, considerada a flor-da-fortuna e da felicidade é muito presenteada entre amigos e parentes. Suas flores podem ser simples ou dobradas de muitas cores diferentes, com grande durabilidade. As variedades de flores dobradas são chamadas de Calandivas ou Kalandivas. Plantadas em vasos têm sua beleza exaltada, porém podem ser plantadas no jardim formando maciços e bordaduras, acrescentando um colorido original. Apesar de perene, deve ser tratada como anual por perder a beleza, salvo em algumas variedades.

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana es una especie del género Kalanchoe, endémica de Madagascar. Planta suculenta que pueden alcanzar 30-40 cm de altura por unos 20 cm de ancho con brillantes hojas carnosas de color verde oscuro cuyo tamaño alcanza entre 7 cm de largo por 4 de anchura. La inflorescencia es un corto tallo con hasta tres pares de hojas (distintas a las del resto de la planta), que nace de las axilas de las hojas, al final de este tallo surgen en forma de racimo numerosas flores con 4 pétalos de unos 4 mm de diámetro, éstas pueden ser rojas, purpúreas, anaranjadas, amarillas, blancas. Su época de floración natural abarca desde finales del invierno hasta finales de primavera. Es muy utilizada como planta de interior y comúnmente cultivada en jardines en zonas de clima cálido, ya que no soporta temperaturas por debajo de los 10 °C. Se puede forzar el periodo natural de floración cubriendo la planta para que tenga menos horas de luz al día. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana fue descrita por Karl von Poellnitz y publicado en Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 35(918/927): 159 159 1934. Kalanchoe: nombre genérico que se supone fue nombrado por una de sus especies (posiblemente Kalanchoe spathulata ) y su nombre chino 伽藍菜 / 伽蓝菜 jiāláncài , cantonés galaamchoi. Una segunda explicación se deriva del nombre de la antigua palabras indias: Kalanka = "manchas, óxido" y chaya = de. Blossfeldiana: epíteto otorgado en honor del distribuidor de plantas alemán Robert Blossfeld (1882–1945).
