How the Library handles rights and attribution

Kloppenburg and colleagues described Hoya pubicorolla in Hoya New 1(2):13–19 (2013), followed by H. pubicorolla subsp. anthracina on pages 20–24. The latter treatment designates holotype 14597 (PUH) and compares floral structures with H. pubicalyx; it is a new subspecies description, rather than a blanket renaming of every cultivated pubicalyx.

Current status check, 19 October 2026: Kew’s Plants of the World Online accepts Hoya pubicorolla subsp. anthracina.

The commercial label Black Dragon is associated with this subspecies in current nursery usage. This is evidence of selling-name usage, separate from botanical publication and authentication of an individual accession. The 2013 treatment does not explicitly use the words Black Dragon.

Existing original issue and extraction are archived privately. This page provides original factual paraphrase and citation; source photographs and full text are not redistributed.

Evidence scope and limits

Complete issue and extraction archived. Published comparisons and misidentification claims are attributed to their authors; specimen identities and blanket reassignment of cultivated plants remain unresolved.
