The Rare Hoyas catalog revised 9 March 2008 is a dated record of the names, plant descriptions and horticultural comments used by Ted Green and Green: Plant Research. The surviving Wayback snapshot is dated 2 May 2008. The revision date identifies the catalog text; the archive date identifies this preserved copy.
What the catalog preserves
The catalog combines plant descriptions with comments about cultivation, collecting, hybrids and variegation. It also includes other asclepiads, so a name’s placement and surrounding heading matter when reading an entry. Historical spellings, collection labels and Green’s opinions need to remain attached to this edition.
For name or provenance research, record the entry exactly and keep its date and context. A catalog mention can document historical usage; it does not, by itself, establish a botanical synonym, authenticated parentage or a documented connection to a plant in a later collection.
Reading the archived copy
Read the archived Rare Hoyas catalog. The preserved research copy runs to 44 PDF pages; the revision statement is on page 1. The print timestamp visible on that copy is a later capture artifact, not the catalog’s publication date.
This is a historical source, not a statement of current availability or a current growing recommendation. It does not establish the present location or accessibility of Green’s underlying research archive.
