The short version is that I don't have it!

Having been ID'd by someone who's opinion I respected...I have thought I had two clones of H. clemensiorum: One with very thick veins in the cardboardy type leaf and the other not such outstanding venation but otherwise the same. David Liddle wrote me that the H. clemensiorum pictured in my Photo Compendium is NOT H. clemensiorum but similar to one he saw in a nursery in Borneo but that the species is NOT from Sabah. I am going to call this one H. sp. Abas.

The second hoya, photo attached, he says is not H. clemensiorum either! Since I did not get it from him, I cannot put his IML # with it...but simply call it H. sp. aff. clemensiorum.

Apparently this H. finlaysonii group is extremely complicated and a new one keeps popping up all the time!!! Cheech...just when I thought it was safe to go out!!!
