The fruit is right for the genus, and the leaves match well ; 
but, as my specimens show no flowers, the identifieation is by no 
means sure.

This is the same as the Khasi species collected by Sir J. D. 
Hooker, and placed by him with the West Himalayan H. lanceo- 
lata, but I am not sure that it is conspecific; the stems and 
inflorescence are very pubescent, whereas in H. lanceolata they 
are, as Hooker states (Fl. Brit. Ind. vol. iv. p. 54), nearly glabrous. 
This n. 41023 is one of the “tassel” Hoyas. The stems are 
slender, 1-2 feet long, pendent in large bundles with terminal 
inflorescence. As you look vertically up at them, gently waving 
in the wind, they appear a mass of flower, and are reckoned by 
the Khasis the most beautiful plant their country produces. 
In n. 41023 the corolla is white, the corona rose-red. I do not 
recollect the colour of the flowers in H. lanceolata, Wall., but I 
believe (and the herbarium fragments indicate) that this has the 
ordinary straggling habit of the common Hoyas.
