Published in Fraterna 12 3 7 (1999) by R. D. Kloppenburg. Hoya pimenteliana originates from the Philippines. It was collected by Blas Hernaez at Casaguran, Quezon Province, Luzon, Philippines. Hoya pimenteliana is named in honour of Reynold Pimentel. Some say this species is in fact Hoya cagayanensis. I have discussed this with Torill Nyhuus and she has come to the conclusion that this one isn't Hoya cagayanensis. Several parts of the flower don't match the ones of the drawings |

that Schlechter made of Hoya cagayanensis, i.e. calyx, corona, pollinarium. I have seen the drawings and agree with Torill, so I'll keep this one named Hoya pimenteliana. |
