Labeled only as Hoya Carnosa Tricolor - can anyone tell me more about the true name? Is it a Princess? Thanks!

    Tricolor is a commonly mistaken label for your Hoya. The patented name (now expired) for the original (radiation induced daughter of H.carnosa ‘tricolor’) is H. carnosa ‘Rubra’ The trade name used for marketing at the time was KRIMSON PRINCESS (not yelling. That’s how you write a trade name). The confusion comes when people don’t realize that there are many cultivars circulating. Properly, for this particular Hoya and mine 😊 we would say H. carnosa (inner variegated). I always add “the one commonly referred to as KRIMSON PRINCESS. I’ll see if I can attach a couple interesting images.

    @Herektty, you’re awesome! I love that you go into so much detail and share your knowledge and experience! So I now have an H. carnosa KRIMSON PRINCESS to go with my KRIMSON QUEEN! Thanks again!

      Well, kinda😉 You have an H. carnosa (outer variegated) and an H. carnosa (inner variegated) The trade names are reserved for those that can be traced. And your welcome 💕

      But are they commonly called by the common names or am I misunderstanding?

      The trade names were attached to those specific cultivars. Other cultivars existed before and after the patented ones. We probably don’t have KP or KQ just outer and inner variegated unknown cultivars (not the patented ones)

    For those that are not botanists, nomenclature academics, historians, etc… yes the world refers to the aforementioned Hoya as KP and KQ and has been for years, albeit incorrectly. If selling or trading the label should read, H.carnosa (inner variegated) Its an ICBN thing and can be very confusing 🤷🏻‍♀️
