All shingle plants - Hoyas, a bit off Aroid subject.

I consider 'shingle' type leaves to be those that have very close internodes
and lay flat on the surface the
plant is growing on. Are there Hoyas that do this?? I only know of
Dischidias in the Asclepiads that have this
growth habit, and with specialized 'balloon' leaves that I understand are
symbiotic abodes for ants.

I saw a species of Hoya, that could be 'a shingle plant'. It was Hoya
imbricata. I saw this species in Palanan Isabela, Lozon Philippines, they
attached their round,mottled purplish-green leaves, climb up to the tree
top.
Under their convex leaves has many ant live inside, very interesting.

well as the 'splotchy' one .
A few of the shingle Dischidia spp. are ;
D.imbricata , D.diphylla , D.melanesica , D. ovata.
