I got some good pictures of the pollinarium with my macro lens- Eriostemmas are some of the few Hoya that have pollinaria big enough to capture this way. This pollinarium is almost 2mm wide, most Hoya have pollinia that are less than 1mm.
The two yellow bundles are the pollen masses, stuck together with a kind of wax. They are connected by the two thin "arms" to the dark brown corpuscle.
This is a 1/2 side view.
