Rights, privacy, credit, or removal request

Tell us what you have and how you know it. Your submission enters a private review queue; it does not edit a public page.

For your own observation, explain when, where, and how it was made. A citation is welcome, but you can send a lead, request, or observation without one. Claims stay unverified until review.

Historical records and plant provenance

Old nursery catalogs, dated plant or flower photographs, original labels, accession records, and a known chain of ownership can help clarify Hoya names and history. Include the name as recorded, any dates, where the material came from, and what you know about the plant’s history. Use “Tell us about a source or lead” above for historical material, or “Contribute photos” for your photographs. Approximate locations are enough; omit private addresses and sensitive wild locations. Submissions enter private review.

What happens next

Research information and photos enter private review. A lead or a claim can be submitted without a complete citation; we keep uncertainty visible and verify it before changing a research page. Each photo receives its own identity, provenance, rights, credit, and privacy review. Receiving a submission does not mean accepting, incorporating, or publishing it.

Ordinary questions and suggestions go to a separate private contact inbox. They do not automatically become permanent research evidence.
