FIGURE 1. A. Portrait of John Gilbert Baker (1834–1920) who published the name Kalanchoe tomentosa in 1882. Reproduced from Journal of Botany, British and Foreign. London, volume 39 (1901). Photograph: Berthold Carl Seemann. Public Domain. http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=176522. B. Portrait of Reverend Richard Baron (1847–1907) who collected the material on which Baker based the name K. tomentosa. Credit of the photograph is to Fiangonan' I Jesoa Kristy Eto Madagasikara (FJKM), which is the lineal descendent of the London Missionary Society, Antananarivo, which employed Baron. Permission was granted to Dr Laurence J. Dorr by FJKM to disassemble a framed collection of photographs of 19th century missionaries to obtain individual portraits for use in Dorr (1997). Dr Dorr kindly supplied the image to the author of this paper. C. Kalanchoe tomentosa is a sparsely- to many-leaved, entirely hairy, sparsely branched, small to medium-sized, terrestrial, succulent shrub that can reach a height of about 1 m. Note the hard, stiff aerial roots that often develop on the stem and branches. D. The hairy flowers of K. tomentosa are borne erect to erectly spreading to spreading, and are hairy throughout. Flowers are campanulate to sometimes very slightly urceolate, yellowish brown to greenish and often sometimes purple-infused. The corolla lobes are light to deep purple on a greenish background, and adaxially velvety rather than hairy. Photographs C and D taken by Gideon F. Smith.
