Hoya heuschkeliana subsp. cajanoae was just recently published. I got this one named Hoya heuschkeliana (yellow form) in 2007. Hoya heuschkeliana subsp. cajanoae is very similar to Hoya heuschkeliana subsp. heuschkeliana. The only obvious difference is the colour of the flowers.

Hoya heuschkeliana subsp. cajanoae is a small leaved hoya. It grows quite fast and flowers readily, often already as a small cutting. It's probably best grown hanging as it has no climbing abilities. It's easy to grow, likes a lot of light and tolerates some drought.  The leaves

varies in size, 4-6 cm long and 2-3 cm wide. They are medium green but turn red when grown in sunlight. 

Hoya heuschkeliana subsp. cajanoae flowers all year. When you've got the first flowers on your plant you will notice that it almost flowers continuously. The flowers are minute, urceolate and if you put your nose really close you can feel a pleasant scent of caramel.
