Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Rigida?, 0 by Gabro14

Hi,

I bought H. rigida last year from a local nursery, and the owner gets his hoyas from Ted Green (or most of them from Ted Green). One of the hoyas I got there was mislabed (H. macrophylla var. was mislabeled as H. latifolia), so I wasn't quite sure if H. rigida was correct.

Well, I recently got H. rigida IML 1424 in a trade to see if it was the same as my other rigida, and they are completely different. I looked at David Liddle's description of IML 1424, and it goes along with my rigida from the nursery (big succulent leaves, very similar to pachyclada), whereas the one I received that was labeled IML 1424 has small pubescent leaves with one center vein.

Here are a bunch of pictures. Any help on either ID is much appreciated. Even a guess.

This one is the original one that I got from the nursery, which I believe to be H. rigida. My hand is in the pic for size reference.
