Hoya verticillata (Lao) is my favourite verticillata, most because of the lovely foliage. The leaves are quite big, 11-13 cm long and 6-7,5 cm wide, and they are covered with light green flecks. The leaves are thick, hard, shiny and medium green. As all verticillatas Hoya verticillata (Lao) is easy to grow. Some have this one named (Lao1). I don't know which is correct so I'll keep the name my plant had when I bought it. I also suspect Lao should be Laos but I'm not sure.

The flowers look very much like the ones on Hoya verticillata

(Green Form) except for the colour of the corollas which is paler on this one. Hoya verticillata (Lao) also seem to have more flowers in the cluster than Hoya verticillata (Green Form) has.
