Published in Fraterna 1995(2):10 (1995) by R. D. Kloppenburg. Hoya davidcummingii originates from the Philippines. It is named after its collector; David M. Cumming.

davidcummingii flowers readily and when it does it fills the room with a pleasant scent of caramel in the evenings. In early spring when the flowers are exposed to less light than in summer they can be very pale (see the picture at the left). Hoya davidcummingii has earlier been sold as Hoya gracilis. |
