These lobes arc in reality nothing but the otherwise simply recurved sides of tlio 

 horizontal corona scales, which in the case of the above species are produced 

 beyond the dorsal apex of the scale itself.

LUZON, Province of Bataan, Mount Marivoles (1213 Borden) June, 1!MM. In 

 forests at 650 in. 



Evidently one of the species of the Hoya parasitica Wall., group, and closely 

 related to that species. However, it can ho readily recognized by its long leaves 

 and rather narrow straight corona scales.

An ally of Hoya Merrillii Schltr., but distinguished from that species by its 

 corona scales.
