Kalanchoe Inflorescence

Kalanchoe Adans.

Kalanchoe inflorescence is a morphological trait assessed according to UPOV guidelines, encompassing the paniculate or umbellate structure type, density, number of flowers, and response to photoperiodic conditions.

In the reference 37 varieties crop Kalanchoe, where this is mentioned in the description.

To evaluate Kalanchoe varieties, discrete parameters of inflorescence structure are used, such as density and overall compactness, which create a "floral cap" effect. An important indicator of varietal identity and physiological response to light regimes is the number of nodes below the inflorescence, determined under short-day conditions.

Quantitative characteristics include counting the inflorescences per plant and the flowers within them, as well as linear parameters such as peduncle height and inflorescence diameter in centimeters. The quality of the inflorescence, including its stability and density, directly determines its market value and commercial characteristics, especially in groups with high flower doubleness.
