ISI 2026-22. Hoya kanyakumariana A. N. Henry & Swamin.
This unusual hoya has small, obovate, leathery leaves about 2 cm long. These are a uniform dusky green, without visible venation, but with fine, scattered, hair-like papillae and undulate margins. Flowers are also diminutive, about 10 per umbel, about 1 cm diameter, white or palest pink, sea-star-like with rounded lobes and coarsely ciliate margins. The corona is also five-parted and star-like. The individual corona lobes are glossy, translucent and fleshy, resembling a juicy cell of a citrus fruit, white with a dart-shaped purple marking at the base, the color of which suffuses into the surrounding tissue. Like many hoyas, the flowers have a sweet fragrance, impressive for their small size. The species grows in the Sanjeevi hills, inland from the village of Kanyakumari, in the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu state, at the southern tip of India. Rooted cuts of HBG 124440.
