Hoya aff. collina sp. Papua (splash)

I have noticed that most Hoya collina lose splash in high light, but this one does not. Although, we know that “aff.” (affinity)  in the name means it has not yet been studied, but it is similar to collina. This is common when a Hoya is new, but it also can happen with many old Hoyas.

In botanical taxonomy, “species affinis” (often abbreviated as “sp. aff.” or “aff.”) indicates a plant specimen that is closely related to, or has affinities with, but is not identical to, a named species.
