Its accepted range includes Thailand and Vietnam. The foliage is elliptic, thick, and dark green, with irregular silvery spots on the upper surface; these are splash, not variegation. The star-shaped, creamy-white flowers, with a purple corona, open at night and are fragrant. The species resembles \u003cem\u003eHoya caudata\u003c\/em\u003e, from which it differs in leaf and corona shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage and growth.\u003c\/strong\u003e The leaves are elliptic and thick, with a cuneate base and almost invisible veins.

The corolla is creamy white, sometimes slightly yellowish, with hairs along the margins of the lobes; the corona is purple or purplish-red. The flowers open at night and close in the morning. They are fragrant, though the intensity may vary between blooms.

It is closely related to \u003cem\u003eHoya caudata\u003c\/em\u003e through its silvery splash and pendulous umbels, but its elliptic leaves and corona shape support its status as a separate species.
