Notes. Hoya vitellina Blume was indicated as originating from West Java, without 
providing any additional specimen information. Miquel (1857: 522) indicated that 
specimens of the taxon were collected by Blume and Van Hasselt. The only possible 
material likely collected by Blume is in L [L0004346], Following Art. 9.12 of the 
ICN (McNeill et al., 2012) [L0004346] this is to be considered as ‘remaining original 
material’ and therefore here selected as lectotype. Three possible duplicates are present 
in U and BO. However, due to the lack of information on these sheets it is impossible 
to verily if they are actual duplicates. 
Hoya fuscomarginata N.E.Br.was described from a specimen deposited in K 
originating from cultivation at Glasnevin Botanic Gardens, Dublin and originally 
purchased from Mr Pauwels, who stated that it had been imported with orchids from 
British Guiana. This is impossible, as no Hoya species is known to occur in the New 
World. There is only one specimen in K clearly labelled as type in Brown’s hand that 
is therefore a holotype. 
Hoya wallichii (Wight) C.M.Burton, Hoyan 18(1:2): 5 (1996); Noltie, Bot. Robert 
Wight 111 (2005). - Physostelma wallichii Wight, Contr. Bot. India 40 (1834). - 
TYPE: [Herb. R. Wight Prop], ‘Wall Asclep. n. 130’ (lectotype K [K000449753], 
designated in Rodda et al., (2016). 
Hoya walliniana Kloppenb. & Nyhuus, Fraterna 16(4): 9 (2003). - TYPE: Originally 
from Malaysia, Sabah, Sipitang, cultivated in Sweden, Stockholm, vouchered in 
November 2003 as Nyhuus, T. s.n. (holotype UC [UC1784975]). 
Notes. The type of Hoya walliniana was indicated as ‘112003 (UC) ex hort. Torill 
Nyhuus Sweden, originally collected in 1997 in Sipitang, Sartawalc [sic.], Sabah, 
Malaysia’. The specimen labelled as holotype in UC agrees in collecting author and 
provenance but does not bear collection number 112003. The number is here interpreted 
as a collection date (November 2003) as seen in Hoya kastbergii and Hoya nyhuusiae. 
The provenance of the plant is Sipitang, a division of the Malaysian state of Sabah, 
and not Sarawak as alternatively indicated in the type citation. Provenance and date 
are here updated in the holotype citation. 
Hoya waymaniae Kloppenb., Fraterna 1995(2): 8 (1995). - TYPE: Originally 
from Malaysia, Sabah, cultivated, USA, California, Fresno (holotype UC missing); 
Indonesia, Kalimantan Timur, surroundings of Tong Sungai Barang, 15 October 1992, 
van Valkenburg J.L.C.H JVV1190 (neotype K, designated here; isoneotypes BO n.v., 
L [L0200212]). 
Notes. The type of Hoya waymaniae Kloppenb. was mentioned in the original 
publication as ‘cultivated at Fresno, CA., USA from clone obtained from the Sydney 
Botanical Garden by Ted Green in 1988 or there about. Holotype: UC#11’. In UC the 
label of the specimen indicated as holotype of H. waymaniae reads: ‘Pressed specimen 
prepared 23 April 1997 from material cultivated by Ted Green, cloned from plant in 
Sydney Botanical Garden which was obtained in 1985 by Ben Wallace from the Tenom 
Orchid Centre in Sabah, Borneo. Submitted by Dale Kloppenburg, 1999’. No collector
