Like Dischidia Merrlllii Schltr., related to D. hirsuta Wall., but distinguished 

 from the former by the shape of the corolla and from the latter by its leaf 

 characters.

A species in leaf characters somewhat resembling Hoya camphdri folia Warb., 

 but well distinguished from that species by its flowers, which are apparently 

 reddish.

Mindanao, Davao (420 Copeland) March, 11104. 



The smallest Hoya yet known from the Philippines. It is well distinguished by 

 the corona scales, which are produced at the back into two rather large lobes.
