'''''Kalanchoe pinnata''''' (syn. '''''Bryophyllum calycinum''''', '''''Bryophyllum pinnatum''''', also known as the '''Air Plant''', '''Life Plant''', '''Miracle Leaf''' and '''Goethe Plant''' is a [[succulent plant]] native to [[Madagascar]]. It is distinctive for the profusion of miniature plantlets that form on the margins of its leaves, a trait it has in common with the other members of the ''[[Bryophyllum]]'' section of the ''Kalanchoe'' genus.
