Hoya for id from Siliguri:: NS June 09<\/a> : 13 posts by 6 authors. Attachments (5).<\/div>\n

This beautiful epiphyte was shot near Siliguri (W.B.)..<\/span><\/div>\n
This is a Hoya<\/i> sp. …H. verticillata <\/i>??<\/div>\n
\n

Please give your opinion regarding specific id..<\/p>\n

\n

Wow, great find …<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Hoya alright since I photographed H. carnosa<\/i> a few days ago here in California. Looks ver similar. Would be helpful if we know the differences.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Thanks for your early inputs …<\/p>\n

\n

I was considering this being one from H. verticillata<\/i> or H. carnosa<\/i> ..<\/p>\n

\n

tha pictures of the tiny flowers are so beautiful…they almost look artificial.<\/p>\n

\n

Hoya verticillata, acuta <\/i>and parasitica<\/i> are all quite difficult to differentiate. If there are references on the flora of Bengal, it could help<\/p>\n

\n
A reply from maker of World site on Hoyas<\/span><\/a>:<\/div>\n
\n

“I sure looks like a species from the parasitica complex<\/b>, but it’s extensive and flowers come in many colors (also growing condition affects the color) so it’s difficult to pin point exaclty which one”<\/p>\n

\n
Attached here KEY of three Hoya<\/i> in ‘Bengal Plants’. Attachments (1).<\/div>\n
Roxburgh’s note on Asclepias parasitica<\/span><\/a><\/i> reads, “……. leaves opposite….. firm fleshy texture… veins scarcely conspicuous above, and invisible underneath, ….. petioles short, round, ash coloured, in fact more like a part of a branch….” But, Wight’s illustrations<\/span><\/a> shows leaves are pinnately veined. I do not know if this is the same as Hoya parasitica<\/i> Wall. ex Traill<\/span><\/a>.<\/div>\n
A website provides some information on Hoya<\/i> – http:\/\/www.psthehoyan.com\/<\/span><\/a>. The author throws some light discussing H. parasitica<\/i>, H. acuta<\/i> and H. verticillata<\/i><\/span><\/a>. According to him Hoya acuta<\/i> does not have tri-nerved leaves. Also, Hoya verticillata<\/i> does not have tri-nerved, quinquenerved, or palmately veined leaves (please note the graphics in http:\/\/www.psthehoyan.com\/psthehoyan3_4.htm<\/span><\/a>).<\/div>\n
The author further informs, “The Hoya<\/i> sold in trade as H. acuta<\/i> …… are …. clones of H. pottsii<\/i>.<\/span><\/a>“<\/div>\n
FoC has only one species with 3-veined leaves –<\/div>\n
http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=115819<\/span><\/a>.<\/div>\n
I hereby do not attempt to ID your plant. I send you this mail only because I have spent past two hours just to know what Hoya<\/i> is! Whatever species it may turns out it is a heavenly (if there is any!) creation…. and excellent photographs as well.<\/div>\n
\n

Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful finding.<\/p>\n

\n

Pl. also see Hoya acuta<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

    The No.1, 3 & 4 above have tri-nerved leaves. But no.2 seems to have penninerved leaves and one leaf in the no.3 herbarium also is pennineved.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Can this Hoya<\/i> be labelled as H. parasitica<\/i> (Roxb.) Wall. ex Wt.?<\/p>\n

    It is a very variable species, I am sure of this.<\/p>\n

    for me its hoya parasitica<\/em><\/p>\n
    \n<\/div>\n
    I went through the discussion and you are correct about the confusion. I was initially not sure where to place it because I have myself observed several variations of the flower colour and leaf characteristics in the safe forest growing in different tree trunks. I also communicated with Dr. Michele Rodda in 2018, regarding this, and he was with the same opinion. It should be better placed as H.verticillata<\/em>? in eFI.
    \nMy photographs lack details, sorry for that. It might be among the varieties proposed within the species.
    \nHowever, Attached is an article which might help.
