Hoya sp. It may be a Hoya species An answer from Sri Rahayu (Bogor Botanic Gardens) Indonesia Hoya diversifolia Blume. Usullay in lowland, from beach to about 900 m above sea level, climbing and hanging on big trees. But actually the flower (corolla) usually pink color inside, with dense short (velvety) hair. Outer side of corolla creamy, opened diam about 1 cm (corolla). Also for the corona color (mostly darker than corolla). Is this really yellow color, I think still in pink color (fig 1 and 2). Fig 3 and 4 only leaves without flower. Thanks..
If I may know, from where is this pictures got? Many thanks for all this help.
The flowers were a faded yellow with peach colored centres. Unfortunately they were growing very high up, which is why the photographs are not very clear.
I saw it growing on a Barringtonia asiatica tree facing the beach, on Havelock island in the Andamans
Please consider Hoya parasitica which is very common all over the Andamans. A reply from maker of World site on Hoyas:
“This looks like Hoya diversifolia.”
