Kalanchoe or Crassula?

Post by geotrox »

Hello,
I am having trouble finding anything online to help identify this succulent through reverse image searching.
Hoping someone may have an inkling to species/cultivar?
Once again... thank you for your thoughts!

Does not look like both to me. Possible a Euphorbia sp.? It may not even be a cactus at all.

Definitely not a Euphorbia. Here's a close up of the flower buds.

I've searched online and see nothing to indicate that this specimen is Kalanchoe humilis. Do you have further information if this is hybrid or cultivar, because all the online pics of K. humilis show only striped/maculated plants with rounded leaves. The hairless leaves take on a purplish shade without any leaf markings whatsoever and certainly doesn't have the compact nature of the basal rosette form that's indicated in K. humilis. Here's a pic showing a closer view of the leave, which are hairless and moderately fleshy.

Those flowers don't look like Kalanchoe to me, but it'll be easier to tell when they're open. Kalanchoe flowers generally have 4 petals. We'll have to see when the flower opens. I think Kalanchoe is a good guess, but I don't think it's K. humilis
