Hoya verticillata var. verticillata (syn. Hoya pottsii)
Hoya verticillata var. verticillata is a highly variable and widespread Hoya species from South and Southeast Asia, long cultivated under a range of historical names — most commonly Hoya pottsii.
This species is valued for its vigorous growth, thick climbing stems, and glossy, mid-green foliage. Mature plants produce clusters of star-shaped flowers with a sweet fragrance, typically in pale pinks to creamy tones depending on clone and growing conditions.
In Australian horticulture, this plant has previously been mislabelled as an Australian native. Current taxonomic treatment places it firmly within the Asian Hoya verticillata complex, and it is not considered native to Australia.
