  1. Only 4 of these could be considered “small” leaf. You didn’t even show curtisii, which is one of the most common small leaf ones, not to mention most of the ones mentioned here are regular size or even large, not “small”. I was hoping to see something special in this article. If someone who didn’t know anything/much about hoyas read this article they might walk away thinking this information is correct and that is very disappointing.
