Hoya macgillivrayi is an epiphytic or lithophytic vine native to northern Queensland, described in 1914 by F.M. Bailey. The foliage is thick, ovate or lanceolate, glossy, and light to medium green. The growth habit is climbing. The flowers are large and waxy, ranging from pinkish-red and violet to burgundy, sometimes with a lighter center. They are fragrant. In the Secret Garden lot description, the fragrance is a combination of citrus and gardenia; perception varies.
Foliage and growth. The leaves are opposite, thick, ovate or lanceolate, with pointed tips. They can reach approximately 15–20 cm in length on mature plants. The stem contains white latex. The shoots cling and climb; their length varies from one specimen to another. This lot is the botanical species, not the commercial Kaimuki hybrid.
Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are waxy, star-shaped or shaped like flattened bells, usually pinkish-red, violet, or burgundy, sometimes with a lighter center. Horticultural sources place the diameter at approximately 5–8 cm. They appear in umbels of several flowers, often 6–10, and sometimes up to around 15. The flowers are fragrant. In the Secret Garden lot description, the fragrance is described as a combination of citrus and gardenia. Perception varies. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.
