Small hoya with big identiy crisis

I have this little NOID hoya that started out with little leaves like maybe H. picta or that one EA sells that has those little teeny leaves. Anyway....about 6 months ago it started growing a couple of long leaves RIGHT ALONGSIDE the little ones. The long ones sort of remind me of the one that used to be called H. gracilis, but is correctly named H. memoria I believe.
Now it has grown several more nodes and each time it starts out with 2 little leaves....then grows 2 more at the same node that are the LONG variety.
Anyone ever seen this or have any thoughts about what it could be?

WEEEEEEeeeel. good questions. Seems like flowers are going to be the answer! Could be the H. memoria/H. inconspicua conundrum...but then again....

Where did you get this beauty?

Marcy, this certainly isn't going to help you figure out what you've got ... but I find similar things happening on some of my plants as well. I wonder if it might be light related? I have some carnosas & a motoskei that I moved outside for the summer. Some of the new leaves (but not all) are giant compared to the regular size leaves. The same thing happened with my erythrina - a couple of the new leaves are double in size to the regular ones. The only thing I can think of is that, coupled with good air circulation, the summer light is longer and more intense. Could this lead to larger leaves?

Carol....I got it from Norma a year or so ago. It was just a tiny little 4 leaf cutting then & all the leaves were the little type then. It didn't grow much for a long time & then suddenly started putting out all these strange leaves.

Ann....I too will get the occational BIG umungus leaf on something outside here & there, but this is strange in that it makes 4 leaves at the node with 2 of them long like memoria leaves and 2 of them the little tiny ones. A real puzzler to me.

Hi Marcy;
I'm late in posting an answer to your "strange leaf inquiry", have had company with lots of giggling over "you know what"! got lots of chatting in, plus lots of work (me and Sandy did the work, Ann S. supervised) Also got some lessons in with Ann, regarding identifying plants and how to carefully take them apart etc. etc. etc. I think we did more of the etc. lol
This photo is a picture of H. memoria. I'm pretty sure it came from a cutting that I gave to Norma two summers ago. This species has the annoying habit of having several different sizes of leaves and always form in little clumps of (usually) five leaves around a node as the branches elongate. I personally think it's one of the prettiest of all the so called "basket plants".The foliage is gorgeous and it seems to bloom furiously just to make us hoya nuts happy.
Sandy and I took scads of photos and I will be posting many of them as time goes by. I've got to get to work, the day is slipping away.

Ann...are you sure you posted the right picture? That hoya looks to have veins running along it. The other memoria I have only has speckels on the leaves (no veins).
I may have a misidentified one though. Ha. (how unusual). ;-D
Marcy

That photo is of siariae, not memoria... Nice photo, though!

No ladies; I didn't mean for it to be memoria. I just reread my posting and realized that you all must have thought I meant that I got this plant in my photo from Norma. I knew it was siariae all along. Just showing off!
Sandy knocked an entire umbel off with her head while she was here. I really believe she thought I was going to commit murder, instead I laughed so hard at the flowers dripping out of her hair and off her eyebrows and eyelashes that my sides ached.

I am getting a visual ... Oh, now that is funny!
