Hoya dasyantha or Hoya fungii?

I normally got hoya cuttings from friends or bought them from roadside vendors. The cuttings, therefore, always come without a label and so all my hoyas are NOIDs. My common practice is to search the internet to find out the names of my plants, if possible. And when they bloom, I seek confirmation from members of the Hoya Forum on GW.
This one plant got those people confused. I thought it was Hoya fungii but then it was identified as Hoya dasyantha. And I took it as Hoya dasyantha.


It bloomed again these days and again, it got those people confused! Some say it's Hoya fungii, others say it's dasyantha!

Of course it's nicer to know its real name. But whatever it is, it still is a pretty hoya!
