Hoya cinnamomifolia Hooker 1848 forms twining bare shoots up to 3 metres long. It has strong, dark green leaves that are 5-7 cm long and 6 cm wide. The five conspicuous parallel leaf veins are clearly visible and start from the leaf base. The leaf margin is slightly recurved. The flowers of the Hoya are strikingly beautiful. They grow up to 2 cm in size and unfurl in round umbels on a 3 cm long stem. H. cinnamomifolia blooms in magnificent bare flowers of a yellow-green colour. The corolla is reminiscent of the colour of a lime. The crown tips are broadly ovoid, pointed and strongly bent back. The corona has the red colour of vines, sometimes also purple. The plants flower well if they get enough sun. The flowers are open for 10 days. They exude an unpleasant fragrance.
The genus was named in Modern Latin in honor of English gardener and botanist Thomas Hoy (c. 1750-1822).
