Guava

Order: Myrtales (myrtles, evening primrose)
Family: Myrtaceae (myrtle family)
Genus: Kalanchoe

Note: From what I can discern, Aloe and Kniphofia (red hot pokers), both in the Asphodelaceae family, have very similar flowers but considerably different leaves, with aloe having much more succulent leaves.
