Most modern floras compiled by botanists list Bryophyllum as a genus
separate from Kalanchoe but most of the horticultural literature has the
Bryophyllum species included in Kalanchoe. When species of Bryophyllum and
Kalanchoe (in the strict sense) are compared side by side in flower there
is
little doubt that the two genera are very different from one another.
Many,
but not all, of the Bryophyllum species and hybrids also produce plantlets
on the leaves or the flower stems but that in itself is not a generic
distinction. The technical differences are in the flower parts.
What are some of the other examples of plants with two names?

I thought it was Kalanchoe daigremontiana. Is this one of those many
cases
where there are two botanical names?

The plant to which you are referring is called "pregnant plant" or
"mother
of
thousands". The scientiffic name is Bryophyllum daigremontianum.
