Hoya linearis Wall. ex D.Don is one of the more unusual (foliage-wise) Hoya plants. Unlike other Hoyas, it doesn't possess the typical characteristics of a climber. Instead, it establishes its roots within the crevices of trees, gracefully draping itself from their branches. The leaves of this plant are petite and delicate, endowed with a subtle fuzz. Clusters of white, star-shaped flowers exude a delightful fragrance reminiscent of lemon. This particular species of Hoya has gained a reputation for being one of the most challenging to cultivate. It thrives in a humid environment but requires careful attention to avoid overwatering.
The genus was named in Modern Latin in honor of English gardener and botanist Thomas Hoy (c. 1750-1822).
