I started this thread on the ID forum and it was suggested that it may be a Hoya, which I suspected when I purchased it.

I've been told by the vendor that this is a Lipstick Plant, but I really think it might be a Hoya. The vendor was emphatic that all she ever had was H Carnosa, but I purchased H Kerrii from them a few weeks ago! The leaves don't have the same configuration and aren't as stiff as the Lipstick and don't have the same veining as mine does, but it could be a different variety. The underside is pale green and it has a very thin darker green margin around the underside of the leaf which leaves me to believe it might be a Hoya. Any ideas would be appreciated. Cindy
