These are Angel Plants and of coarse the names on the tags are all wrong. Anybody know what it is.

ID Unknown Hoya
Here's another shot.

I thought mine was brevialata, but Ann let me know it's actually incurvula. Now when I got my EA plant, it actually DID say incurvula (shock!! they got one right!!) but the consensus over on GW was that it was brevialata. Since Ann is working on her book about Hoyas, I have to assume her knowledge regarding ID's is above reproach, so I bow to her ID. So I will say with more self confidence than usual that it's incurvula!

Denise, I have looked all day between Brevialata,Incurvula and Heushkeliana. LOL I'm lost and figured I'd better ask for help. I was hoping Ann would respond but your answer from her will suffice. I thank you.
Tami
I've gotten the same response as Denise on this one....I have had it as brevialata but maybe now I should change it to incurvula. It vines like crazy but no flowers yet...

Kim,
Mine grows like a weed, too. Early this spring, I got one - one, mind you! - flower and haven't seen one since. Here's the flower...

I just wrote an explanation of the plant and why it is incurvula, then hit a wrong button and lost it. I'll try again. Denise sent me this photo also and it's good enough that I can see with the naked eye, the way the corona (Denise described it as the inner star, and that's pretty much what it is) swoops down from the top of the flower, divides into 2 little parts at the very end, and then curve up. This incurving is the characteristic that gave this plant its name of H. incurvula. H. brevialata has different characteristics all together that I will go into on another day.

Hey girls;
Denise sent me this photo also and I can see with the naked eye, the corona (Denise described it as the inner star, and thats pretty much what it is) the way the corona lobe is divided into two parts at the end, and swoops straight down from the top of the flower and incurves (or curves up) on the very ends. This is the characteristic that has given it the name of incurvula. The brevialata on the other hand has very different foliage (not the little grey green cupped leaves like this one. And very different flowers. I thought I had lost this explanation, I guess it didn't get lost, just flew around cyberspace for awhile. I hope this clears up some of the muddle on H. incurvula. I'll go into the H. brevialata one day soon.

I, too, have an EA plant that could be either of the two.
It would be *perfect* if anyone has photos of both incurvula and brevialta...both foliage and flowers......anyone?
Sure Nan, I have them both, I'll post them tomorrow.
