The name means small-flowered and describes the species’ compact umbels, not a cultivated variety. Its accepted range covers Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Mentions of India or Malaysia generally refer to closely related taxa, not this species. The flowers may be fragrant, but the intensity varies from one bloom to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical identity and origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eHoya micrantha\u003c\/em\u003e Hook.f. is an accepted name, published in 1883 based on material from Tenasserim, Myanmar. The 2013 revision clearly distinguishes this plant from \u003cem\u003eHoya plicata\u003c\/em\u003e, which remains in the montane forests of the Malay Peninsula. India is not part of the accepted range. \u003cem\u003eHoya pseudovalifolia\u003c\/em\u003e is a synonym.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage and growth.\u003c\/strong\u003e The leaves are very thick, ovate-lanceolate, scabrous, and matte green, usually 4–10 cm long and 2–3.5 cm wide. The plant is sparsely pubescent on the stems, petioles, and leaf blades. The venation is nearly invisible. It grows as a low-altitude vine on bark or limestone and needs an airy mix that dries out between waterings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers and fragrance.\u003c\/strong\u003e The umbels are flat or slightly convex and may bear up to 25 small flowers. The corolla is revolute, about 7–8 mm across, pink, yellow, or reddish brown, and pubescent on the inner surface. The corona may be pink, yellow, or red. The epithet \u003cem\u003emicrantha\u003c\/em\u003e refers specifically to these small flowers, not to a dwarf form of the plant. The commercial title indicates fragrant flowers; the fragrance and its intensity are not guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubstrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e use an airy, well-draining mix suitable for epiphytic species.
