I also wish more growers would share tips when you buy a plant from them.

Thank you so much for having this discussion. What about “fun” names like “Jodie’s Silver” or “Royal Hawaiian Purple?” Are these name unauthorized? I recognize these names but I wonder now if these are just commercialized names, rather than the real issued plant name? Just modern day branding and marketing. Can you share your thought on those two please?

Awesome video, nice work!! It’s a great reminder that human names and classifications are just our own attempt to describe what’s going on in nature, and sometimes it’s way more complicated than we can handle, and human errors are going to happen. As a mathematician (lol i see another mathematician left a comment about this) it’s a little unnerving to not have everything neatly classified, but embracing some natural chaos is healthy. I like that you brought up PS The Hoyan because it’s SUCH a good read. A lot of shade thrown in Kloppenburg’s direction 😂 and frequent mentions of his eagerness to declare new species when it might not have merit. When I found out that some of my Hoya (acuta, parasitical) were verticillata, I wasn’t like “oh no these are all the same” just because they’re the same species - different varieties within a species can exist and that’s a-ok. When we talk about a Hoya, we are allowed to say more about it than just its official scientific genus+species name, too. I’m not going to get arrested for including that my latifolia has white margins when I talk about it 😂 And I think with collectors there can be a bit too much focus on trying to collect different species, like they’re Pokémon, when it can still be interesting to look at variations within a species. There’s only one species of Venus flytrap (and that’s the only species in its genus) but people still find purpose in collecting cultivars. Definitely hate people using descriptors to mark up prices though, especially when it’s something infamously unstable.
@BasiePlants3 жыл бұрын
Peggy 💚 The only reason I hate albomarginata is because people confuse it with being part of a name (same with variegata) as it comes from Latin. So I prefer to say white margins (though in my hoya they are anywhere from cream to light green). I love C.M.Burton. Yes, she was shady, and she also did make mistake herself, but she also knew a lot. A LOT. And when I read how once they removed all her labels when she hosted a hoya meeting, I was livid. I am surprised those people were able to walk away with their heads still attached to their bodies. I agree that sometimes people focus too much on collecting as many species as possible when there are so many varieations in a species. I am actually planning on getting more verticillatas xD Especially the one that was called wibergiae. But I also want the one called pallida. So I am definitely going to have more than one verticillata and I am here for it 😂

I think scientific names are important (much more useful than common names) but I also know they can quickly change when more information is made available e.g. Sansevieria and Dracaena. I’m now convinced most of my Hoyas are misidentified. I guess I have a latifolia (not macrophylla) and a verticillata (not parasitica) - I love them all nonetheless. I am a biologist and I can attest that since the use of genetic testing, most taxa are undergoing renaming and reclassifications. Plants are challenging but reptiles are a big mess too!
@BasiePlants3 жыл бұрын
If you got it under the name parasitica, that has been moved to verticillata for sure :) The only issue with latifolia and macrophylla is that you can't ID until it blooms, but from what I read and heard from other collectors there is a big chance all are latifolias. I know of a grower who does supposedly offer macrophylla but it is very expensive for me. I have a hoya that I got under the name latifolia, but it doesn't look like the one I know to be latifolia (the one everyone calls macrophylla). So I will have to wait for the flowers too.

That’s fascinating. Of course the correct scientific names matter to me. Classification and names and species are important. Cultivars also important information. At the moment I see all the chaos with names this name that. I would never buy anything obscure anyway. Hehehe I have never heard about Hoya while living in vn. Dad usually took me to the jungle near home and collected orchid & stag horn and grow them on living tree trunks in our home. Oh yeh he climbed big tree and get them hahaha I was too young to clime. It was always exciting. Grandpa and dad were very knowledgeable about plants & flowers & animals. Some of their knowledge pass on to me. No Hoya that I have seen it know off where we live, which is near Saigon.

Oh, I bet you could find some hoyas though! They are hiding 😂 But orchids are lovely too. They are perhaps my 2nd favorite. Such a wide variety!

@@BasiePlants hahaha would be amazing. Grandpa really loves plants . He had quite a few rare ones. After the communist came in 75. Things fall apart. I look up the Vietnamese name for Hoya. It doesn’t sound like a plant. Maybe it ain’t what they call there. I love orchid . I might try to get one or something. They are notorious hard to care for in Vietnam. There is only one species where I live. It is like a fan shape leaves thin and long. I don’t think I’ve seen them here . Not yet anyway. My sister loves orchid. She has heaps. She usually drives down from Queensland to visit me and visit the nursery. Sydney has more variety. That was a really long time ago. I don’t think indoor plants exist back then.

I have a Hoya labeled Hoya Latifolia bought from Gardinos in Florida 3 years ago that looks nothing like the "new" Latifolia that people are calling Latifolia. If I'm not mistaken, the Macrophylla is also supposed to be called Latifolia now but I guarantee the original Latifolia I have is not the same Hoya as the other verigated Macrophylla (now Latifolia?) that I have. I also have a Hoya Verticillata sp Bogar but I'm told its actually Hoya Pallida? I can't keep up sometimes 😳 After watching your video my Hoya Latifolia might be Blume's Macrophylla ? I'm not sure anymore 🤣

Human errors are bound to happen and most are not meant to mislead. Being said that, Ted Green may have made mistakes but I’m quite sure it wasn’t his intention. I personally know him and happen to like him. I enjoy visiting him and looking at all his Hoyas in his beautiful property.
@BasiePlants2 жыл бұрын
I pretty much said the same :) Unless you don't want to talk about hoya (or any other plants for that matter) mistakes are bound to happen. Information changes all the time. Also, botanists (and hobbyists) disagree on what some plant is, but I think it is good to know all of this information and hear different opinions. I think there may have been a misunderstanding here - I have nothing against Ted Green, Dale Kloppenburg nor Christine Burton. :) As I said, they all have made mistakes and so have many other people who have researched hoyas, and even now mistakes are being made all the time, not on purpose. There are many accounts on how one side experienced others, as we can read in P.S. The Hoyan, but I personaly don't pay too much attention to that, as I was not there and I don't find it relevant in growing hoyas and learning about them. :) Plant community can be very cut-throat but I prefer to focus on the positive and more beautiful side.

I got last year small cutting of Hoya Clandestina, I understand now why I couldn’t find a similar photo, all these names are confusing. Does it mean I no longer call it H.Clandestina? I want to use the correct names but I know this happens often with plants. Over time the names are corrected or simply updated.
@BasiePlants3 жыл бұрын
It is my understanding 'clandestina' is simply a synonym. Still I would wait for the flower to confirm the identity. You can leave the name on the tag, in parenthesis? H.clandestina is a synonym for Hoya macrophylla (Blume) and I can't find anyone who was true Hoya macrophylla (Blume) except for one grow in Thailand that might have it.

I think I have accidentally found out what it is after looking at some Hoyas. It looks like Hoya Neoebudica. This will be confirmed once it blooms, fingers crossed!

Hi can you do also the the hoya bilobata IML228 and the hoya panchoi. Which named to be used and the correct one please. Thanks
@BasiePlants3 жыл бұрын
I don't have either of those Hoya. Hoya panchoi, as far as I can see, is not an accepted name. Hoya bilobata is, and is often confused with sp. aff. burtoniae (but bilobata doesn't have pubescent leaves). IML228 is just an accession number, IML standing for Iris Marie Liddle, late David Liddle's wife. According to C.M. Burton though, from 1998-2007, David Liddle sold IML228 as Hoya bilobata, but after that, in 2008, IML228 was refered as Hoya panchoi. There seems to be a big confusion about panchoi, and name diversifolia is mentioned too - in face, Kew lists panchoi as synonym for diversifolia, but that plant is much different than bilobata in terms of the leaves and the flowers. Honestly I don't know if this was resolved. Since I have neither, I never really looked into them. A good person to ask would be Torill Nyhuus though. In any case, I would keep the labels under which you got these plants and wait for them to bloom. There should be a significan difference in flower if one of them turns out to be diversifolia :)

How can you live without labels. I have 60 and I have label and an excel sheet with the species name and the person I got it from. :) It matters to me to know and not to forget. I have some hoyas where I doubt the ID I have but I need to make them flower first. Hoyas are definitely not plants for impatient growers.
@BasiePlants3 жыл бұрын
I somehow am still able to rememeber the names (even the accession numbers), who I got them from, and when (I know the month, not the exact date, but I do have it on record, haha). I do intent to write the labels but I am wondering if I should just number them and then have a file with the number and additional information... I even know the price 😂 (when the price was known to me, some I got in a batch, so the price was for the entire package, and a very good deal :) ) Oh, yes, I have at least 4 that I am not sure if the ID is correct. In videos I try to say it is the ID it was sold to me under. Those are less than a year old (except one) so I have to wait a bit more to see the flowers. Some want to flower in less than 6 months and for some it's a waiting game. But I agree, definitely not for impatient people.

I think scientific names are sometimes better than common names. Especially when talking about a specific plant (one that might not have a common name). It's a lot harder to compare a speices of plant to other collector's species of the same plant if they don't have the same scientific name but are in fact genetically the same plant. Seems like some DNA testing is needed. And it's low key wild that plants aren't "allowed" to have different looks within it's population, meanwhile there's wild animals with variations and no one is going to give them a new scientific name.
@BasiePlants3 жыл бұрын
I definitely think proper names are very useful when talking about plants. Sometimes I hate common names as some of them really sound ridiculous. And also, a lot of people use one common name for multiple plants, which is not very helpful at all. But it gets really complex sometimes, especially with accession numbers.
@viktoriabackeus76103 жыл бұрын
@@BasiePlants My biggest pet pevee is the common names that are the scientific name for another plant. How confusing is that on a scale from yes to yes? I actually prefer using the scientific name in many cases (and many of my plants doesn't have a common name anyway). The common names are (sometimes) different in different countries (even within the English speaking countries) to confuse it even further. I'm definately on team official name x)
