Hoya campanulata (Hoya campanulata)
Description
Hoya campanulata is a species of the genus of wax flowers ( Hoya ) from the subfamily of the plant plants (Asclepiadoideae). Hoya campanulata is an initially hanging, later climbing, epiphytische plant with cross-sectionally round, only 0.3 cm thick, thread-like and bald shoots . The plant is about 1.2 to 1.8 m long. The leaves are sitting on short stems. The very thin, non-succulent leaf blades are elliptic-lanceolate, 7 to 11 cm long, 2.5 to 5 cm wide (12 cm long and 5 cm wide or 15 cm long and 5 cm wide), the apex is pointed. They are dark green in color, with silver speckles and clearly visible veins. Top and bottom are bare. The umbelliferous inflorescence with a long stem hangs down with a straight end edge. It has 12 to 25 single flowers (up to 10 individual flowers ). The quite large, a diameter of 2 to 3 cm (2 cm or to 2.5 cm ) reaching, hanging flower crown is broad bell-shaped. The petals are almost completely fused laterally; At the outer edge of the "bell" are only five short wedge-shaped notches to see. The tips of the petals are only slightly bent outwards with a short point in the middle. The color varies from white, light green to off-white (bone white ). The Nebenkrone is whitish with five purple dots around the center. The corners of the Nebenkrone are 4.5 to 5.5 mm long and 1.5 to 2 mm wide. They lie flat in the broad bell-shaped flower crown. Viewed vertically from above, the dust bags form a disk that reaches about one quarter of the length of the secondary crown lobes. The number of chromosomes is 2n = 22.
