Published in Novon 5(1) 9 (1995) by M. G. Gilbert, P.-T. Li and W. D. Stevens. Hoya chinghungensis originates from Yunnan, China. It is named after its habitat. This species was originally published as Dischidia chinghungensis in Acta Phytotaxonomica Sinica 12(1): 130 (1974). The herbarium sheet was from 1936 and there was no flowers on it so the authors assumed it to be a Dischidia.

I got a cutting of this neat species in 2008 . Later the same year I got it in bloom for the first time. Once it was rooted and established it grew quite fast. The flowers remind of Hoya lanceolata subsp. lanceolata. It flowers at the end of the branches and it drops its peduncles after flowering. The scent is weak so you have to put your nose really close to sense it. I grow my Hoya chinghungensis in the garden room where night temperatures are cooler.
