Ok, here are the plants I have as motoskei, dasyantha and fungii, I'm not the best pic taker in the world, but you can see the leaves at least..

First, motoskei.....

and the last one, dasyantha, it's the worst pic, I can try and get a better picture of it if needed, but you can see what it looks like.....

So - here we are doing something impossible, really....trying to ID from leaves. Not good but so easy to get caught up in it.

In The Hoyan, Vol. 7 page 72 it states that H. dasyantha is "allied to H. fungii Merrill, differing from it in smaller leaves, densely flowered inflorescent, smaller flowers and glabrous calyx."

Guess you will just have to wait and see the flowers, Ravenlocks and hope for the best....I am just hoping for the best....

I had flowers on the fungii, but not the dasyantha, and the motoskei comes from a grower I totally trust! :O)

I just wanted to show everyone how much the leaves all look alike, I wasn't trying to ID them or start an argument!

No,nono...no arguement here. I just find myself so interested that I try to ID from leaves and it usually can't be done...

That's the first picture I've seen of someone's dasyantha. I got that one from Mike Bernardo and it's a lovely hoya.
