Hoya commutata

Hoya commutata was published in 1995 by Gilbert and Li as a replacement name for a plant of southern Guangxi and adjacent Myanmar that Chinese floras had been filing under another species. It is a monsoon-forest hoya from the northern edge of the genus: hot and wet in summer, then cool and dry in winter, and it should be grown that way.
