Hoya latifolia (Albomarginata, Round Leaf) is a striking outer-variegated form of Hoya latifolia, an accepted Hoya species native from Myanmar and Thailand through western Malesia.

This particular form is known for its very large, substantial leaves, which are broader and shorter than many other Hoya latifolia forms. The leaves can range from broadly oval to nearly rounded, so the exact shape may vary as the plant grows.

Dark green centers are surrounded by irregular cream to yellow margins. The width and placement of the pale border can vary considerably from leaf to leaf, giving each new leaf its own pattern. Young stems, petioles, and leaf margins may also develop pink or reddish tones.
