Dianne, just guessing since I am not expert, but it looks like my H. pimentielana. Do the blooms smell like menthol? God bless, -joanne
Dianne...I would say H. pimenteliana. I think it smells like 'wintergreen'...just love that hoya!!!!
Carol, what is the correct spelling on that? I bought the plant spelled like you do then I found it in your cataloge spelled pimentielana. Which is correct? thanks in advance... -joanne
Thanks I went and smelled the flower and thats it!!!
OOOOps....the spelling cootie attacked my site!!!! Will change that spelling, Joanne...it is wrong!!!
Thanks
::makes note to NEVER buy that hoya::
I dun like wintergreen at all....icky
Unless you put your nose in it, how are you going to smell it. You are missing out on a beautiful hoya! It is very suptle...and I don't like that smell either!
Joanne...where is the mispelling of H. pimenteliana on my site? I looked all over and couldn't find it. Need new glasses? LOL
::changes note to blame alohahoya if this pimento hoya stinks up my house::
Love it!!!!
OK, for anyone who is interested ... the proper reference is: Hoya pimenteliana Kloppenburg.
The following information is from Dale Kloppenburg's excellent research on H. pimenteliana:
"Blas Hernaez of the University of the Philippines, Los Banos (UPLB) collected this species at the same time Hoya blashernaezii Kloppenburg was collected. This new species is a vigorous fine stemmed vineing, much branched, plant. The foliage is opposite, linearly lanceolate with an acute apex and cuneate to slightly rounded base, where a distinct gland is present. The leaves are very distinctive, of a deep dull (flat color) iridescent green, due to an extremely fine velvety upper surface. Venation is somewhat obscure but pinnate with veins at 45 ° to the midrib (noted when dry). Leaf edges are entire but with slight undulations, the edges being slightly turned under. The foliage is profuse.
The flowers are on relatively long peduncles. Semi ovate clusters of small yellow flowers ... The deeply cut corolla form lobes that are recurved backward and rolled on the edges to give a starry appearance to the flower. Actually the upper surface has a very fine pubescence... The crown is of a similar colored pale yellow with the outer coronal lobes raised. There is slight coloring in the deep center otherwise the flower is of a uniform color. There are about 15 flowers to the umbels. This species will quickly make a nice full plant in a short time from cuttings. I feel it is suitable for a 6” hanging basket at least until it is a couple of years old. It should be an ideal light garden plant for indoor culture. Keep this one damp and in a good loose potting mix."
