A new one for me: Hoya ischnopus. This plant seems to be very similar to H. kenejiana and H. montana, and doesn't look like the H. ischnopus featured in the Hoya Handbook, which had larger flowers that looked more like H. carnosa except in color. The scent is strong and rather interesting- I can't put my finger on it exactly, but it seems close to over-ripe mango and green tea. Interesting, but not exactly pleasant. The flowers are quite small- a little over 1/3".
