| Hoya australis ssp. tenuipes. As best I can claim. This is my variety (See October bloomers!). |

| cena...it does look like your plant. Thanks! |

| A look at the leaves will help with the ID. If you check for different leaf characteristics I can reference the David Liddle/Foster article I have. Look for leaf pubescence on the top or bottom surface or if the leaf tends to have margins that are curved under or young leaves that are reddish/bronze. I took a look at some of your other photos, LOVE the Worsleya procera. I just got some seeds of an epiphytic African bulb called Cyrtanthus epiphyticus which has a similar growth habit, well minus the fantastic way the leaves of mature Worsleya are displayed. http://www.strangewonderfulthings.com/184.htm Mike |
