Hoya IDs please

3 months ago

Hello 🤗 Long time reader, first time poster. I've been collecting both succulents and tropicals for a couple of years now but just picked up my first hoyas from the Lowe's clearance rack and could use some help identifying them, as well as some experienced eyes to hopefully spot any potential issues that may come with rescues. I don't see how to post the photos in this post so I will post them in the comments. Thank you in advance :-)

The second photo of the main post is Hoya cumingiana (one ”m” in that epithet).

For the second grouping of photos, you have an outer variegated and inner variegated Hoya carnosa respectively (neither display the selected for characteristics of the ’Tricolor’ (Krimson Queen) or ’Rubra’ (Krimson Princess) cultivars). The third plant is Hoya crassipetiolata, not H. finlaysonii (or one of the species allied to it). 🙂💚

First one is H. pubicalyx

Second one looks familiar. I will get back to you when it pops into my head.

Hi David 👋 Thank you for the id. I have been reading a lot and I guessed that my first photo was a pubicalyx, I'm happy for the confirmation.

Could the second one be cummingiana?

I have picked up a few more, photos below.

Krimson queen?

Krimson princess?

I could use an id for this last one. I've found similar photos that are labeled finlaysonii and clemensiorum, but I'm not sure which (if either) precisely match mine. Any thoughts?

Thank you again, it's a pleasure 'meeting' you 🤗

The second one does resemble cummingiana, but the leaves are not quite like mine. Still could be a form of it, or another related sp.

You’ve got Krimson Queen and Krimson Princess, both were made by Hummel, and stolen and renamed by Cobia.

The last one may be finlaysonii, or the two or three other sp. like it, but I’m not able to sort them out even if you had good flower photos, sorry.

Hi Vespirs, nice to hear from you. Thank you for the id for the crassipetiolata! Now I can learn what it likes. I am curious about what you said with regards to the carnosas, what are they lacking to be considered krimson queen/princess? Thank you in advance, I hope you have a great day!
