Good morning Sir Herbarium sheet marked as *Hoya verticillata* (Vahl) G. Don can be found at KEW -
1. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000873070 2. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000873071 3. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000895119 4. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?barcode=K000895120 The No.1, 3 & 4 above have tri-nerved leaves. But no.2 seems to have penninerved leaves and one leaf in the no.3 herbarium also is pennineved. Can this *Hoya* be labelled as *H. parasitica* (Roxb.) Wall. ex Wt.?
