Hoya callistophylla
Hoya callistophylla is a highly recognisable species with elongated leaves marked by bold dark green veining across a lighter background. The foliage is thick and leathery, giving the plant strong visual structure along its vining stems. Flowers are pale cream to soft yellow with deeper centres, forming neat rounded clusters.
