Mother of Thousands, Alligator Plant or Mexican Hat Plant, Kalanchoe daigremontiana, Crassulaceae. Madagascar, Africa. Kalanchoe daigremontiana, formerly known as Bryophyllum daigremontianum and commonly called mother of thousands, alligator plant or Mexican hat plant, is a succulent plant native to Madagascar. All parts of this species contain a very toxic steroid known as daigremontianin. Kalanchoe daigremontiana can spread by both seeds and by plantlets dropped from its leaves. It has an umbrella-like terminal inflorescence (a compound cyme) of small bell-shaped, grayish pink (or sometimes orange) flowers. Flowering is, however, not an annual event and occurs sporadically if at all on some shoots. Kalanchoe daigremontiana is native to the Fiherenana River valley and Androhibolava mountains in southwest Madagascar. It prefers to grow in rocky and dry places.
