Kalanchoe mortagei is a species of Kalanchoe (section Bryophyllum) native to northern Madagascar .[1][2] It is very similar to K. suarezensis, and both of them used to be mistakenly treated as varieties of a totally different species K. poincarei.[3] K. mortagei differs by having auriculate to peltate leaves,[1] while the leaf base of K. suarezensis is attenuate to truncate.[4]
