Pedicelli kahl, +/- 2½ cm lang, Kronlappen breit, abstehend, abgerundet, sehr kurzzottig. Coronazipfel oben und unten spitz, oberseits gestielt. Nerbenkopf flach. Bis 15 m. hoch windender Stauch, habituell an Hoya cinnamomifolia Hook. erinnernd, aber sofort kenntlich, weil bei dieser (neuen ?) Art von jedem Blätterpaar oft ein Blatt nicht zur Entwicklung kommt.

West-Java: Auf dem Gede, bei Tjibodas um 1450 m ü M. sehr zerstreut im Regenwald (Kds. n. 25935 b). Diese Art ist benannt nach Herrn N. E. Brown in Kew. H. Browniana Kds*

11c Leaves against-continuous, oblong, at the base pointed, above very sharply pointed, when dry leathery and lead-colored, glabrous on both sides of, clearly 3 nerved (near 5 nerved), 14 - 20 by 6 - 7½ cm. Petiole stalk 2 - 2½ cm long, glabrous, thick. Peduncle separately, axillär, 10 cm long. Blooms plus or minus 1 cm in diameter, in simple (+/-10 - 12 flowers) umbels. Pedicels glabrous, plus or minus 2½ cm long, Corolla flaps wide, flattened, rounded off, very short-shaggy. Corona scales above and below pointed, higher up stalked. Flat in the center. With 15 meters of highly winding stems, living in the presence of Hoya cinnamomifolia Hook., but immediately recognizable, because with this (new?) type of each leaf pair often a blade does not development.
