Hoya cinnamomifolia

A large Hoya from Java, named for its thick, dark green leaves with parallel veins like those of a cinnamon tree. It carries clusters of 20–30 flowers about 2 cm across, with lime-green petals and a burgundy centre, which drip nectar. Wild habitat data are almost absent, so treat it as a vigorous tropical Hoya vine that needs bright filtered light, warmth and a dry spell between waterings.
