Hoya pubicalyx — Plain-leaved study variant
The plain-leaved, maroon-flowered material compared with a silver-speckled variant in a 2004 thesis abstract.
This profile follows one of the two variants described in the 2004 abstract. It does not treat every plain-leaved pubicalyx as the same clone.
Overview
The plain-leaved study variant is material identified as Hoya pubicalyx in Merlyn C. Redondo’s October 2004 chromosome study. The repository abstract describes plain leaves and maroon flowers, contrasting it with silver-speckled, red-flowered material. It does not describe the growth habit or establish the plants’ collection origin. This is a record of study material, rather than a named modern cultivar.

What We Know
- The abstract describes the plain-leaved, maroon-flowered study material as variant 2.
- It reports 22 chromosomes in both variants and compares chromosome structure and cell division. Those findings do not establish different growth rates or care needs.
- The available abstract does not identify a modern cultivar or connect the study plants to current commercial selections.
What We Are Still Learning
What does the full thesis document about the identity and selection of the study plants?
What would help: A lawful complete thesis copy, especially methods, sample sizes, voucher details and original accession records. The repository does not currently provide the full thesis.
Can preserved specimens or traceable living plants be connected to this study material?
What would help: Voucher or accession identifiers, original labels and a dated propagation history linking plants to the study.
