Photo of Hoya or Dischidia?

I received this one in the swap last year labeled Hoya longifolia. While piddling with them today I happened to spot this miniscule red flower. If I'm not mistaken, it is similar, if not identical, to Dischidia rosea. The leaves are rigid and boat-shaped when small, then flatten out as they age and have a prominent mid-vein. Internodes range from a few inches to nearly a foot on some vines. I'll post two pics. Thanks for your help.
