Default Identify a gift plant

Hi

Could anyone help me identify a plant that was given to me as a gift?
A photo is at

http://star.pst.qub.ac.uk/~it/DSC02278.jpg

It grows lots of little plantlets on the edges of the leaves!

Thanks

Ian

The common plant which generates lots of plantlets on the leaves is one
I knew as a child as mother-of-thousands. This is Kalanchoe
daigemontiana aka Bryophyllum daigremontianum.

The habit of your plant looks different - more compact - but perhaps I
am misled by interpreting the photograph as a single plant, rather than
as several plants planted in a single pot.
