This image, and most of the images currently in the database for Kalanchoe tetraphylla, show K. luciae and not K. tetraphylla.

I will be requesting they be moved to K. luciae.

The apparent discrepancy results from two separate pairs of plants being confused with each other:

K. tetraphylla / K. thyrsiflora
(the former has serrated margins and flowers from leaf axils, the latter has smooth margins and flowers terminally)

K. thyrsiflora / K. luciae
(two similar looking plants with very different terminal flowers; luciae is orders of magnitude more common in cultivation)

For more info consult these pages:

I am posting this comment by way of notice to Lynn and everyone else below whose images I will propose moving.

Thanks Baja, I've submitted proposals to move all of my photos over to K. luciae; hope that helps.

Thank you Baja. I took that photo at a nursery in Upton, CA because it was such a striking specimen. They must have mis-labeled it. Wish they were hardy here. I proposed that my photo be move. Thank you for catching the error.
