Wax Plant (Hoya 'Ruthie')
Although this plant is still being sold as
Hoya 'Ruthie', a few years ago it (along with a couple of other large flower Hoyas) was moved to the
Eriostemma genus. If that is still correct, the photo at the above entry should be moved over to
Wax Plant (Eriostemma 'Ruthie') with the Hoya 'Ruthie' entry deleted. Maybe the "
Also sold as can be added to the Eriostemma 'Ruthie' entry?
I'm wondering if perhaps the cultivar name 'Ruthie' is being confused with the species name ruthiae? From online photos I've viewed,
Wax Plant (Hoya ruthiae) has smaller leaves with more pointed tips and much different looking flowers than the Eriostemma 'Ruthie' cultivar.
