Type description:

In Annales Mus. Botanicum Lugduno-Batavum 4 (1869) 141-142.   P. A. G. Miquel Hoya Bruensis Miq. Folia brevi-petiolata e basi rotundata leviter emarginella supra ad petiolum  minute callosa, (minora) ovato-elliptica vel (maiora) elliptico-oblonga apice acuto vel obtuso-attenuata, carnosa glabra, subtus costulis utrinque circiter 5 (ima e basi) erectis et patulis arculto-subunitis obtectis; pedunculi axillares glabri, receptacu1o cylindraceo, subaequilongi; pedicelli graciles glabri; flores modiocris magnitudinis; sepala parva sublanceolata tenere ciliolata; corolla 5-fida. ....H. coriaceae foliis adeo similis ut conspecificam habuissem, nisi pedunculus brevior, receptaculum cylindrico-elongatum, ille pedicellique glabri, flores minores, calyx perparvus, Flores autem tantum destructi supersunt. - Ramuli tenues teretes vel hic illic leviter compressi, epidermide laevi, sed haud infrequenter lenticelloso-verrucosi. Folia opposita, petiolis 2 lin. circiter longis, forma et magnitudine haud parum diversa, minora ovato-elliptica 3 - 2 pollicaria spice obtusiusculo-attenuata; maiora 5 - 4 pollicaria, 1¾  poll. lata, venis lateralibus exsiccatione distinctis vel subdistinctis. subreticulatis.  Pedunculi supp. paullo deflorati pollicares, receptaculo subaequilongo cylindrico haud crasso terminati. Pedicelli pollice quidquam breviores, tenues, glabri.  Sepala ½ lin. longa.  Corollae alabastra 1¾ lin. diam. - Boeroe, in distr.  Okie: Teysmann.

Translation: Leaves shortly petioled with rounded bases, slightly emarginate, above the petiole minutely callused, (a little) ovate-elliptic or (more or less) elliptic-oblong with the tip acute or obtuse-attenuate, fleshy, glabrous, below the midrib covered over, on both sides about 5 (from the very base) erect and outspread curved almost united; peduncles axillary glabrous, receptacle cylindric, almost equal in length, pedicels slender, glabrous; flowers midsize; sepals small somewhat lanceolate softly ciliate; corolla 5-divisions. ....... With leaves similar to approaching H. coriaceae, as for example their conspecific manner of growth, except that the peduncles are shorter, receptacle cylindrical-elongated, it has pedicels glabrous; flowers smaller, calyx much smaller. Flowers on the other hand barely destroyed, but still existing. - Branches slender round or with them slightly compressed, bark smooth, but not at all infrequently with veracose lenticels. Leaves opposite , petioles nearly 4 mm. long, form and size not at all  very diverse, smallest ovate-elliptic 5 to 4 inches, 1.75 inches wide, lateral veins when dried distinct or somewhat distinct, somewhat reticulate. Peduncles 1 inch, at hand some without flowers,  rachis about the same length as the peduncle, cylindrical, thickened terminally. pedicels 1 inch or shorter, slender, glabrous. Sepals 1 mm. long. Corolla buds 4mm. in diameter. Boeroe in the district of Okie: Teysmann.
