“HOYA”

.

(commonly known as milkweed family)

.

(according to ‘APG II’, the Asclepiadaceae, is a former plant family now treated as a subfamily (subfamily Asclepiadoideae) in the ‘apocynaceae’ (‘Bruyns 2000’))

.

(they form a group of ‘perennial herbs’, twining shrubs, lianas or rarely trees but notably also contain a significant number of ‘leafless stem succulents’)

(the name comes from the type genus Asclepias (‘milkweeds’))

(there are 348 genera, with about 2,900 species)

(they are mainly located in the tropics to subtropics, especially in ‘africa’ and ‘south america’)

(the florally advanced tribe ‘stapeliae’ within this family contains the relatively familiar stem succulent genera such as Huernia, Stapelia, and ‘hoodia’)

(they are remarkable for the complex mechanisms they have developed for pollination, which independently parallel the unrelated ‘orchidaceae’, especially in the grouping of their pollen into ‘pollinia’)

(the fragrance from the flowers, often called “carrion”, attracts flies)

(the flies pollinate the flowers)

.

(many new hybrids have been formed due to the unique fertilization method of the ‘flowers’)
