But wait! There's more! In the next year's volume, Lindley writes:
"1. HOYA coriacea.
Botanical Register, 1839.
t. 18.
I find that this very rare plant is the
Cyrtoceras reflexum of Horsfield's Plantæ Javanicæ, p. 90. t.21. Mr. Bennett, the learned author of the genus, and of the greater part of the work in which it appears, distinguishes it from Hoya by "the great comparative elongation of the whole of its sexual apparatus, which in Hoya is as remarkably depressed. The inner angle of the foliola of the corona staminea, which in Hoya forms a mere tooth incumbent on the anthera, is produced in Cyrtoceras into an erect lanceolate process, twice as long as the anthera, and equal in length to the external horn, at the base of the foliola." It appears that mutilated specimens, "apparently of the same species, or at least of a very nearly related plant, exist among the collections of Father Camel, in the Sloanean Herbarium, (vol. 231.) in the British Museum. They were gathered in the island of Luçon." "From Dr. Horsfield's notes we learn that the Javanese name of the plant is
Kappal, and that it grows in various localities in the eastern parts of Java, at no great distance from the seashore." It must not be confounded with the
Kapal Kapal of the Philippines, which according to Father Blanco, is the
Asclepias or
Calotropis gigantea; and at all events is an entirely different plant of the same natural order.
Messrs. Loddiges find the plant so difficult to multiply, that they have not yet succeeded in obtaining a duplicate."
The Catalogue of Life gives
Hoya multiflora Blume as the currently accepted name of
Cyrtoceras reflexum, so kudos to you!
Edited to add that I've requested that the illustration be moved.
