Hoya cummingiana (golden, fragrant flowers) - mature specimens

Hoya cummingiana is the trade name for the accepted species Hoya cumingiana Decne., published in 1844. It is a hemiepiphytic shrub native to the Philippines, Borneo, and Java. Its growth habit is compact and upright: the shoots are supported rather than twining like a typical vine. The foliage is small, dense, and green. The flowers appear in umbels of 10-20, measure about 1 cm, are green when they open and yellow when fully mature, and have a citrus scent.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are small and closely spaced along the shoot, ovate, with a short tip. The green is rich, and the veins remain subtle.

Identity. The accepted botanical name is Hoya cumingiana Decne., Prodr. 8: 636 (1844), named after the collector Hugh Cuming. Hoya densifolia Turcz. is a separate accepted species that it was long confused with; similarities in foliage and flowers do not make them synonyms.

The decorative pot is not included in the price. 3-4 vines per pot.

Height including pot: approx. 20-30 cm
