'''==Chemical Composition==Bufadienolide compounds isolated from Bryophyllum''' is a plant genus of the Crassulaceae family that has sometimes been included within the genus Kalanchoe. There are about forty species pinnatum include bryophillin A which showed strong anti-tumor promoting activity in the group, native originally of South Africa, Madagascarvitro, and Asia. The group is notable for vegetatively growing small plantlets on the fringes of the leaves; these eventually drop off bersaldegenin-3-acetate and rootbryophillin C which were less active. These plantlets arise from mitosis of meristematic-type tissue in notches in the leavesBryophillin C also showed insecticidal properties.
