Hoya nummularioides (fragrant flowers) - mature specimens

Hoya nummularioides is an accepted botanical species from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, valued for its compact habit and small foliage with a fine, velvety texture. The rounded to slightly ovate leaves resemble coins, a characteristic that explains the species epithet. Mature specimens can develop numerous branches and, under good growing conditions, produce umbels of small white flowers with a pinkish-red corona and a strong, sweet fragrance.

Identity and origin. The accepted name is Hoya nummularioides Costantin. The species is native to Indochina, where it is documented in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. In its natural habitat, it grows as a climbing epiphyte or, occasionally, as a lithophyte in humid tropical biomes.

Foliage and growth. The foliage consists of small, leathery, rounded to slightly ovate leaves with a finely tomentose, non-glossy surface. The plant has a compact, branching habit, but the vines may lengthen over time. Vine length naturally varies from one specimen to another.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are small, with white corollas and pinkish-red coronas, grouped in umbels. The fragrance is strong and sweet, and an umbel may last for approximately one week. The number of flowers and fragrance intensity vary depending on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Commercial details. The product is sold as a well-established specimen. The decorative pot is not included in the price. Vine length may vary from one specimen to another.
