The foliage is fleshy and ovate-lanceolate, with raised veins and fine pubescence. The leaves become more substantial as they mature, while their shape changes as the vine grows. It has an epiphytic vining habit. Under good growing conditions, it produces light-colored, fragrant umbels. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdentity and origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e The accepted name is \u003cem\u003eHoya vangviengiensis\u003c\/em\u003e Rodda \u0026amp; Simonsson, published in 2012. The species was described from the limestone formations around Vang Vieng, Laos, and its presence was later documented in southern Yunnan as well. It is not a horticultural variety.

The surface has fine hairs, which are more noticeable on young shoots. The commercial comparison to a boat describes only the curvature of the leaf blade, not a diagnostic characteristic.
