Hoya pubicalyx — Albo Splash
A separate guide to Albo Splash labels and the unresolved relationship to Royal Hawaiian Purple.
Interpreting Albo Splash independently from plain Splash and compound RHP/Albo labels addresses a documented identification question.
Overview
Albo Splash is a cultivated selling label kept separate here from plain Splash and Royal Hawaiian Purple. The Hoya Trove describes its material as silver-marked and white-variegated, with burgundy flowers; those seller descriptions do not identify every plant carrying the label or establish a distinct growth habit. Other listings combine RHP with Albo or outer-variegated wording. The reviewed records document commercial usage, but not one originator, introduction date, naming publication or original collection locality. Connections among separately sold plants remain unresolved.

What We Know
- The Hoya Trove uses Albo Splash as a product label; its current description reports silver markings, white variegation and burgundy flowers in its material.
- UPT and RashidasSacredPlace use compound RHP/variegated or Albo labels. Headings alone do not establish that all Albo Splash plants are Royal Hawaiian Purple.
- This record remains separate from plain Splash. Preserve the received label, supplier and date; appearance alone does not establish propagation history.
What We Are Still Learning
What originator and propagation records connect Albo Splash plants to named selections?
What would help: Original labels, dated supplier and originator records, propagation histories and documented flowering material.
Do traceable plants support a distinct growing recommendation?
What would help: Repeated observations on identified material with dates, conditions and suitable comparisons.
