This new species of Hoya has been known for a long 
time to exist in collections, but we believe that the spe- 
cimen from which ourNdrawing, was made, was the firslf 
flowering branch that had been produced. It was commu- 
nicated to us in July 1825, by His Grace the Duke of 
Northui&berland, from his noM« garden at House. 
From Hoya carnosa, and all its seedling varieties, H. 
pallida may be readily distinguished by the pallid hue 
which pervades every part ; an absence of colouring which 
extends even into the flowers. The latter are less fragrant, 
and their segments are less acute than those of H. camo^. 
A hothouse climber, of the easiest culture.
