Hoya sp. Loei (SR 2007-13)

Hoya sp. Loei (SR 2007-13) is a collector's Hoya sold under a provisional designation, notable for its long, narrow foliage with irregular silver markings. Its firm, glossy leaves and well-defined longitudinal veins give it a graphic appearance, while its vine-like stems can be trained onto a support or left to grow as a trailing plant. The number SR 2007-13 preserves the horticultural identity of the collection without turning it into a botanically described species.

Name and origin.

• Horticultural identification: Hoya sp. Loei
• Collection number: SR 2007-13; horticultural sources attribute it to Thai collector Surisa Somadee.
• Associated origin: Loei Province, Thailand.

The abbreviation “sp.” indicates that the botanical identity has not been established at species level. “Loei” indicates the locality of origin under which this collection circulates in horticulture, while SR 2007-13 is the number that preserves the traceability of the selection; neither should be treated as a botanical name or synonym.

Foliage characteristics. The leaves are elongated to lanceolate, thick and green, with pointed tips, visible veins and splash-type silver markings. The intensity and distribution of the markings may naturally vary between specimens and between leaves on the same plant. The foliage remains the main decorative feature even outside the flowering period.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are fragrant. Documented cultivated specimens produce umbels with light-coloured, creamy-white flowers and centers in warm pink-orange tones. Flowering may require patience and depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.
