Botanical identity and origin. Hoya myrmecopa Kleijn & Donkelaar is an accepted name. Its native range includes the Philippines and Sulawesi, not just Sulawesi. The title retains the label 'Big leaves'.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are glossy. In this selection, the leaf blade is wider than in the standard form, but its size varies from one vine to another. The growth habit is compact, typical of an epiphyte. The title “developed specimens” describes the stage at which the plants are sold.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are small and grouped in umbels. In cultivation, the umbels may have around 15 flowers. The fragrance is pleasant and moderately intense. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.
