Remarks
doi:10.11646/phytotaxa.482.2.1 Published as Kalanchoe [subg. Bryophyllum sect. Invasores] ser. Vilana. The name , meaning 'twisted, crooked, evasive' in Malagasy, refers to the climbing growth habit of representatives of this group of species, with the stems and branches often twisting around objects for support. The name also references the seeds and bulbils that are small, brown, and hard to spot in the soil, so evading detection and dispersing in unexpected ways.
