Islandjim posted a photo at PDB under H. kerrii which it is not but I dunno which Hoya this is.
Maybe someone else here can identify it so that it can be moved to the correct spot.

ID Help needed
Could be a couple of things...hard to see the leaves...but the flowers could be H. verticillata, H. pottsii, H. ?????????????.
If you look on the MSN forum in the pictures area, D. Liddle has that one listed as H. subquintuplinervis.
You might be onto something here with H. subquintuplinervis.
Good call, RavenLocks...
I bounced this one of Chris and she says that it is H.subquintuplinervis X Unidentified sp. Bankok-4 Hybrid from MM.
Guess we'll have to wait for a name to be published on this one (Hint, hint, Carol :).
Did she ID it from the picture in the PDB?
Yes she did, I send her the URL to look at it and give comments to its ID.
HA...the news is out.
OK...and....it's name will be H. cv. Christine and it is a terrific plant!!! Slow to start the first year...but once it grabs, it grows fast and very compactly, with short internodes and peduncles at nearly every one. The flowers last about 1-2 weeks (won't swear to that, but that's what it seems to me) and a large plant does not take up much space at all (and it doesn't run over to its' neighbour and try to strangle her!).
I have to say that Chris Burton has a mind like a steel trap! That woman can see a pic, pull the ID or the source for the ID out of the air, go to the source, verify it and this is with ALL the species and many hybrids. If she has never seen it before...you can be sure it is not "one". She boggles my mind...her recall knowledge and her well/wealth of resources to back up what she feels....
If she told me day is night I would have to assume she were right.
Carol, with your new Greenhouse, publishing Hybrid names, selling Hoya, ...etc. how do you still find the time to post in forums LOL?
I added this hybrid to the PDB. Let me know when the cv. Name is officially published so that I can change the entry accordingly.
Milan....I wonder about that too! The property doesn't get mowed as often as I like, and I ignore weeds. Pruning is way behind and the laundry hasn't been folded for a week.
And you know what? It doesn't matter. I figure this is not a dress rehearsal, I have a limited number of quality years left and I am going to have FUN. To heck with what any neighbours may think!!! ;o)
That subquituplinearis has been a species for 30 years that I know of. I know a man, that gave me a bunch which I passed on the the Garden Web forum people. It will be two years I think the end of August when I sent these plants out, it is one that I sent on to you Carol, which you said the leaves all droped off in travel. We have since planted it cut up, no leaves, bald vines, and they are growing like gang busters. Happy plants, it just proved to me that many of these can start with no leaves at all, I was so negative that they would grow, because I was told by the experts that they wouldn't, well I sure had egg of my face. John Trager got the last laugh. Norma
I got that plant from a fellow in Idaho named Michael Bernardo (he has since moved on to Orchids...poor guy). He got the plant from Michael Miyashiro himself. Stupid me, I did not recognize the photo!!!! and here I am about to publish it! Oh well, I used to be blond!!
H. subquintuplinervis has similar growth...but the flowers are different.
Actually, the hybrid is one of my favorites. A slow starter but once it gets going....Katie bar the door!
Yes, Norma...I agree. I have had great luck planting stick with no leaves...as long as all the rest of the cutting jives. David reassured me that it would work...I tried it...it does...most of the time. Just like life...90% is simply showing up!
