Normally you see this hoya namned Hoya australis 'Lisa', but since there are subspecies of Hoya australis all of them shall be namned with a subspecies. I suspect this is a cultivar form of Hoya australis subsp. tenuipes but I am not sure. I am not even sure if 'Lisa' is a published/registered cultivar name. If anyone knows better please let me know!

Anyway, this is a lovely hoya! I just love the glabrous variegated leaves. New growth is bright red, but it turns green as the leaves matures.

This one is as easy to grow as Hoya australis subsp. tenuipes and I do not see any differences of the flowers between those two hoyas.
