This Hoya sp. aff. lacunosa was collected in Malaysia. I got a cutting of this hoya from a friend in 2006 and I have managed to trace it back to Botanova.

It is obviously not a Hoya lacunosa, but I don't know what it might be. Anyway; it is lovely. The leaves remind of the ones of Hoya lacunosa except they are much smaller. The flowers differs from Hoya lacunosa as they are light green and bigger. The scent differs from Hoya lacunosa but it is also very pleasant.

To the left; a picture of the buds. The calyx is dark unlike the calyx of Hoya lacunosa (which is light green). The peduncle is also thicker than the ones of Hoya lacunosa. It is 2 mm on this one. To the right; a fully developed flower from the back side.
