The 1867 French second edition of Les plantes à feuillage coloré includes a treatment headed Hoya carnosa variegata, a colour plate and a wood engraving.

Scope: Plate XLIV and printed pages 87–88 document nineteenth-century name use, foliage illustration, climbing display and glasshouse practice. The historical cultivation advice and propagation claims are attributed observations, not controlled tests or a modern care prescription.

The account does not establish a continuous clone history connecting its plant with the 1846 material or a modern cultivar. No historical illustration is reproduced here.
