| Borrowed this from my Physical Therapist's office. It needed to be repotted BADLY! Not sure what it is . . . anyone want to venture a guess? The largest leaf is five inches long and about two inches wide. The leaves seem to clump together in an area, then there is a six inch stem, then another clump of leaves.
Here's a couple of pics:
Sorry, the second pic isn't so good. Thanks for your help!

| What a pretty plant....I'm thinking it's one of the members of the Publicalyx family. |

| That's what I was thinking . . . but, it's always best to ask!!! The leaves don't look quite like my RHP or Pink Silver . . . I'm hoping it's one of the others!!!! :) Thanks, Carolyn |

| It looks like my ???carnosa??? but then again my carnosa has many faces, sometimes I think it's a pubicalyx then I go back to carnosa. Mine gets several leaves at each node like that. If it would just bloom I could solve the mystery. Good luck w/id. Nice looking plant. Do you get to keep it? Maid |

| My vote is with Hoya carnosa. If you cut a stem often times a cluster of leaves will grow before a new vine develops and that looks like what is going on with that plant. Hoya carnosa and Hoya pubicalax are in the same section of the genus hence the resemblance. Mike |

| Carnosa will have clear sap and publicalyx will have white sap. Pull a leaf and possibly the mystery will be solved.,,,,Debbie ;-) |

| Well, if sap is the deciding factor . . . CARNOSA IT IS! I snagged a cutting. :) The leaves are just HUGE! Carolyn |

| Wait a minute . . . both my Pink Silver and Royal Hawaiian Purple bleed clear . . . hmmmmm Now I'm even more confused! Carolyn |

| Well, I did keep a small cutting . . . but the main plant there, goes back to the physical therapist, tomorrow . . . along with cuttings of H. brevialata, and H. carnosa (that I bought). They're nice people, so I figured I'd give them a few extras. :) Carolyn |

| Oooh Oooh I have that - but I just know it as "Shooting Star Hoya". Mine loves to bloom! |
RE: Please help with ID

| I'm pretty sure it's not multiflora . . . the leaves are pretty succulent. :( Revelle, I'd love to see a pic of yours, anyway!!! Carolyn |
