HOYA NEW This is a slide from March 1986. Near village of Ghara above Tatopangi Central Nepal, 5800' elevation. I do not know who took it. Tree overhanging Kali Ghandaki River gorge. Photographer unknown. Oh There it is ! 1 A pdf publication devoted to the Genus Hoya ISSN 2329-7336 Volume 3 Issue 2 December 2014 Editor: Dale Kloppenburg Contents When a species is collected from the wild, I feel it is wise to identify it, propagate it and name it. In this way it will eventually get it into commercial channels, be distributed to all those interested in this genus and thus be preserved. If in the future the species is lost through natural causes or forest destruction it will still be here on earth in your collection. The following new species are presented in PDF format with ISSN number. I. Hoya amorosoae T. Green & Kloppenburg 3. Hoya concava Kloppenburg, Siar, Cajano & Carandang 4.

Sinee nearly all deseriptions of Hoya imbrieate laek any measurements (a few mention the leaf dimensions and a few the flower size), it is diffieult to delineate whieh of all the eolleetions is typieally eomparable to the type speeies. This new sub-speeies however, difers from all other Hoya imbricata speeies I have studied, mainly in the size of the pollinaria. All previous studied speeimens varied in pollinia length from 0.38 mm to 0.81 mm long, here the pollinia is 1.09 mm in length (the sixth longest of all the hoya speeies so far delineated). Nearly all parts are larger than others studied. Pedicel: enlarged about 8x. It is large 3 em long 0.10 em in diameter, glabrous, terete. Outside surfaee of the ealyx enlarged about 8x, sepals are large, apex aeute, eiliate. Inside surfaee of the ealyx. Sepals are 0.35 em long and 0.18 em at the widest, ligules are present at the base sinuses, overlap about 1/3; they are hirsute eiliate. Ovaries are glabrous 0.23 em long and 0.15 em wide at the base pair. Outside surfaee of a flower at the ealyx area enlarged about 8x. Sepals reaeh a little over half way to the eorolla sinuses. Corolla surfaee here glabrous. 14 Apex of the eorolla outer surfaee enlarged about 8x. The apex is long attenuate, surfaee is glabrous.

Side view of the eorona between two seales enlarged about 8x. The lobes have prominent side lobes that at least in this dry state seem to be bi-lobes extending beyond the obtuse lobe apex, inner lobes are very upright, glabrous, anther wing slot very prominent.

Outer eoronal lobe apex greatly enlarged showing the obtuse slightly turned up end of the eoronal lobe to the lower left and a little beyond this the side lobe also with an obtuse end.

This speeies found by G. E. Edano 12 Mareh 1950 at Antilao River, Ormoe, Eeyte, Philippines. Field No. 2018, along a ridge in forest, elevation 500 meters. Flower green, fruit green. Leaves: opposite, petiolate, laneeolate, retieulately veined, prominent midrib, pinnate veins 5-6 pairs on either side of midrib. Blade 10-12 em long x 3-4 em wide; top glabrous bottom seattered hairs, most along the midrib. Petiole: 1-1.5 em long, straight very finely pubeseent, purplish eolor. Nodes: somewhat enlarged rooting. Peduncle: 2.5 - 7.5 cm long finely pubescent. Rachis: circular enlarged, pods and blooms at the same time. 2 pods from 1 blooming 1 from another flower, fascilate. Pods: 8 cm long x 0.2 cm in diameter dark colored, calyx persistent. Photomicrographs follow. Flower from herbarium sheet: Pedicel, calyx and ovaries enlarged about 8x. Pedicel: ca. 1.3 - 2.0 cm long, terete, filiform finely hirsute. 31 Pedicel and calyx enlarged about 24x, to show the dense hirsute surfaces. Sepals are in addition ciliate; inside glabrous. 0.1 cm long base 0.05 cm Corolla top view enlarged about 8x. Coronal lobes exceed the sinus of the corolla. Corolla lobes very wide above the sinuses. Flower diameter flattened is 0.88 cm in diameter. Sinus - sinus 0.20 cm Sinus - center 0.15 cm Sinus - apex 0.34 cm Apex - center 0.44 cm Widest 0.31 cm Corona top view enlarged about 8x. Dorsal side of lobe broadly keeled, inner lobe spatulate almost reaching the center. This appears to be a species with rudimentary side lobes as the apex appears emarginate. The anther wings are thick. Diameter 0.56 cm Apex - apex 0.26 cm Apex - center 0.28 cm Widest 0.125 cm Anther wing - aw. 0.11 cm Ret. - ret. 0.05 cm Bottom view of the corona enlarged about 8x. The lower side is channeled well in toward the center, surfaces are sulcate. There is a central column, relatively long. Scale outer apices are emarginate (slit or cleft). 32 Pollinarium enlarged about 1 lOx. Pollinia outer apiees taper inwardly & flat. Pollinia length 0.43 mm widest 0.13 mm Retinaculum length 0.23 mm shoulder 0.09 mm waist 0.03 mm hip 0.06 mm extensions rudimentary.
