Kalanchoe luciae, the paddle plant or flapjacks, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Kalanchoe, native to northeast South Africa, Eswatini, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.[2] It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
K. luciae is often mistaken for a similar but rarely cultivated species, Kalanchoe thyrsiflora. K. luciae has larger, more vibrant leaves and develops white flowers with no noticeable scent, while K. thyrsiflora has fragrant, yellow flowers.[4]
