Please help me ID these Hoyas given 2 me

15 years ago

Hi everyone, I was given several Hoya's and would like to ask once again for your help in giving them some ID's. I've looked at several sites to ID them myself, but we all know how crosseyed one gets when they all start to look the same or simular.

I set-up a slide show. Some of the picture have at the top what I think they may be. Please if you think they are something else, correct me, gently...lol. I have only been collecting Hoya's for about a year now and have alot to learn yet. Pictures numbered 1 and 2 are the same plant just a closer look at it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to view my pictures and giving me your best thoughts.

The slideshow moves too fast for me to see and then write down and figure out how to reference which one it is. You'd be better off to post the photos, numbered, in your message. Or to create a seperate album titled "Need IDs" - I tried to "swim" through the album it's in to find the photos, but that was too difficult, too. I saw a pubicalyx 'Pink Silver' in there, a macrophylla, I think your latifolia might be right, but not sure. Couldn't tell about the 'RHP' - couldn't see any deep purple new growth. There are other cultivars of pubicalyx that it could be, too. Think I saw a meliflua in there, too... Sorry, but my mind doesn't work that fast!

I couldn't keep the numbers with the photos straight. I think I saw variegated acuta and incurvula as well as those mentioned by Denise.

I was a fraid it would be to difficult to ID them on a slideshow,but was thinking of those with dial-up service too. Sooooooo here they are posted for ya'll to see. And as always Thanks so much for taking the time to ID them for me. You guys are the greatest.

Verticillatta "Albormarginata"?

"Australis"?

Heuschkeliana....has the peduncles of yellow flowers, my camera just does not take crisp closeups of the peduncles.

Publicalx Royal Hawiian Purple? New leafs are not purple,but stems are. Also the stems to the leaves and mid vein of leaves are. The stems are also splothed with the silver like the leaves.Marking are very pronounced,striking plant.

Some eye candy for your troubles...A Archboldiana that dropped all but this one :0(

Nice Hoyas Regina!! How great that you were given those great hoyas. I'll leave the ID's to the more knowlegeable. I only have guesses! At least You've come to the right place for that. Enjoy them!

First one could be rigida, but there are a lot that are similar in leaf type, so it will probably take flowers to know for sure. Think you have #2 right. #3 looks most like austrlis ssp. tenuipes. #4 might be latifolia - as with #1, same leaf-type. #5 not sure at all. #6 maybe meliflua or a pubicalyx cultivar. #7 I just got flowers from hueshkeliana and they're a dark pinkish, not yellow. Hope someone will have an ID on this one for you. #8 is more likely pubicalyx 'Pink Silver'... I don't see the characteristic purple new foliage of 'RHP'.

So I have to ask - where did you get so many unidentified Hoyas?

There is a group of us gardenwebbers that get together a couple of times a year for a plant swap and Bar-B-Q. Some of us ladies get together thru out the year, visiting each others gardens and swapping plants and going to plant sales and nurseries together. It is one of these ladies who I visited with that I received these plants from. It is now her turn to visit with me and we hope to make a side trip to Gardino's nursery.

Denise....there is a yellow heushkeliana and I think that is what I may have. It does have peduncles on it now and they sure do look like all the photo's I see. I just wish I could get a good picture to show ya'll. Would make me feel so much better if it was confirmed. You confirmed my thoughts pretty much on the others.#8 has to be some kind of a publicalyx, #5 has me baffled too. Several of these Hoya's have the huge leaves with stout vines. And I think I read somewhere that you are a big fan of the big leaf hoya's.

pugluvr I feel very fortunate that I received these plants from this wonderful and generous lady. I hope I can return her gererousity 10 fold when she visits with me.

Thanks again everyone for taking the time to look and ID for me.

Regina,

Yes, I have lots of the big leaved ones. So many of them look so similar, if they didn't have their tags, I'd mix them up.

Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing that there is a hueschkeliana with yellow flowers. I'll have to make it a point to get one and put them together - that would be kind of neat having what looks like one plant that produces two different colored flowers!
