This next photo is the H. micrantha that most of you all have. It's very typical of all the micrantha plants in cultivation. The leaves are like cardboard. and a medium grass green. The flower peduncles have the same red, bristly hairs that you see on the IML-557. The calyx (the little green cup that holds the flower) also has red, bristly hairs.
This species is known for, and described in Rintz's book on Malaysian hoyas as having two different kinds of leaves, sometimes on the same plant.
