plant species in the crassulaceae family

Bryophyllum crenatum), and therefore a group of invalid names for such a hybrid, including Kalanchoe crenodaigremontiana, Kalanchoe crenato-daigremontiana, Bryophyllum crenodaigremontianum and Bryophyllum crenato-daigremontianum, are just synonyms of K. laetivirens. However, their true hybrid is distinct from this species. It is often misidentified as one of its putative parents, K. daigremontiana, which has bands or spots on the back of leaves,
