Hoya dolichosparte Schltr. is a beautiful plant with long, slender stems that bear glossy, dark green leaves with exquisite venation. The stiff leaves are oval and can grow up to 6 inches (15 cm) long and 4 inches (10 cm) wide. When exposed to intense sunlight, the leaves turn to a lovely tan color in bright sunlight.
During summer, the plant produces fragrant star-shaped flowers with a pale greenish-yellow, sometimes pinkish corolla and a white corona with a crimson center. The flowers can reach up to 0.7 inches (1.8 cm) in diameter and appear up to 30 per umbel.
The genus was named in Modern Latin in honor of English gardener and botanist Thomas Hoy (c. 1750-1822).
