Species of Kalanchoe Adans. (Crassulaceae subfam. Kalanchooideae) are known to be interfertile, and numerous artificial crosses have been deliberately produced, or arose spontaneously in cultivation where species are grown together. Natural hybrids between species that co-occur are also known. The inheritance of characters in Kalanchoe ‘Vivien’ Bischofberger, a cultivar based on an interspecific hybrid between two southern African species (K. luciae Raym.-Hamet × K. sexangularis N.E.Br.) is discussed. An amplified description is provided for K. ‘Vivien'.
