Don't know what they are, the first one looks like a small pubicalyx, though, but I love the silvering on it!

First one looks like H. pubicalyx 'Pink Splash' . . . a very splashy variation of pink silver.

The second one . . . I have no idea.

Carolyn

I really have no helpful info(except that I agree that the first one is some cv of pubicalyx)- I just wanted to say that they are both very pretty! I especially love the glossiness of the second one!

I would say Hoya pubicalyx for the first one as well.

The second one will be more difficult but it does remind me of the species in section Hoya (includes carnosa), species like sp Kunming Kina or salweenica. Are the stems or leaf backs hairy or smooth?

Mike

Thanks everyone. I agree that #1 is most likely pubicalyx of some sort.

And I'd be tickled if #2 is Kunming Kina (same as revolubilis???)

I'll check the backs of the leaves later today Mike and report back.
thanks again!!!

The leaves might be only slightly hairy at their margins but do check the stems because they stay hairy even at maturity.

Mike

Here are some photos of the backs of the leaves which shows some hair on the edges. (click the photo to go to 'Flickr dot com' and then click the magnifying glass and then once you are in the 'light box view' click the 'view all sizes' in the right corner) you can zoom into it to see more clear details)

Can't say that the stems are hairy though, but slightly on the edges.

Not nearly as 'felted' as let's say my H. australis var. australis (formerly 'keyseii' (sp?)

Does this help? And again all, thanks for the help narrowing this one down.

Yes those photos helped tremendously and they do suggest Hoya sp Kunming Kina. The new growth/stems also look hairy but with the older growth being more woody. The species that is sold under the name Hoya salweenica has hairy stems that don't seem to go woody like sp Kunming Kina's so it is similar but your plant is just too large to be that species, also the leaf base of your plant is more narrow.

Hoya sp Kunming Kina is a really nice Hoya species and I am sure it will be one of your favorites. The long leaves make this one very dramatic looking as the plant gets larger. Flowers will confirm the ID but I am pretty certain about it already.

Mike

Thank you Mike! So is it also the same as H. revolubilis? I was just on Ted Green's site and if you scroll down to the 'R' section he has this

Here is what Christine Burton has to say about Hoya sp Kunming Kina and Hoya revolubilis. The comparison she does is very helpful and even if you are not familiar with all of the terms used your plant definitely has acute leaf tips vs obtuse ones.

Here is a link that might be useful: Hoya revolubilis vs sp Kunming Kina

Thank you so much Mike for the great info!

Now I'm wondering what a hoya 'gland' looks like! ???

the article says H. revolubilis "Petiole: Has 2 to 3 glands at apex, where it joins the leaf base."

So for now, I'll settle with keeping it tagged as NOID Hoya but potentially H. Kunming Kina until I either have flowers or am able to contact the person that gave it to me.

Really appreciate all the help!

Yep, looks just like my Kunming Kina . . . lovely plant. Takes FOREVER to get acclimated and start growing, but once it does . . . watch out!
