Another ID question

I have H. tsangi from Gardinos, DS-70 from EA and just got H. burtonii from Paul Shirley. Are they all the same or are they different? Very confusing. Thanks.

I thilnk that they should be different plants, but you may not have different plants. Can you post pictures of what you have?

Gardino's sells one listed as H. Tsangii: http://www.rareflora.com/hoyatsa.html but it is identical to my Exotic Angel plant of H. ds-70.

Here's more pic's of ds-70 in Plant Files: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/82251/

When I googled Hoya burtonii I found this: http://sandy-hoyas.blogspot.com/2007/01/hoya-ds-70.html and I see a post by AlohaHoya in there regarding this very question!

Also, on Christina's site: http://www.myhoyas.com/Hoya%20sp.%20DS-70%20min.htm her plant is listed DS-70 but if you hover over the photo's it says tsangii.

So there is much confusion with many of these plants. I sometimes wish only one human would be allowed to name a plant, LOL. Of course, if it were someone with a brain like mine, they'd probably forget that they had already named one and give the same identical plant a new name! ^_^

Thank you everyone! I guess all 3 plants are the same, so at least I know.

I was given a cutting of this last fall... it was called H. tsangii. It has really put on new growth but I am curious. The original leaves were thick, almost pillow like. The new growth leaves are thin. Wonder which is normal for this pretty plant?

Thanks for those great links Lin ~ is it true that sunlight causes the red leaf color? That is pretty.

When some plants are grown dry they tend to become more succulent like.

The H. burtoniae/H.tsangii/sp.DS-70 mixup has been around for years because of people jumping the gun IDing plants. It is H. sp. DS-70.

I had pretty much figured the one I was given was a DS-70 but I can see how all the other names take wings.
DS-70 just doesn't have the lure of exotic sounding names like burtonii or tsangii...
