A CLUSTER of Hoya burmanica Rolfe, a rare plant species, has been spotted in a new area in southwest China鈥檚 Yunnan Province.
The plant was recently found by patrol staff of the Longling Xiaoheishan provincial nature reserve.
Hoya burmanica Rolfe is a succulent plant with lemon-scented blossoms. Its yellow corolla is often shaped like a five-pointed star and the pink inner corolla is also star-shaped, said Tan Yunhong, a researcher with the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The species was originally found across northern and western Myanmar as well as eastern India. In 2019, it was first spotted in China.
The new discovery at two reserves in Yunnan 鈥 the Tongbiguan provincial nature reserve and the Ailaoshan national nature reserve 颅鈥 helps expand the species鈥 distribution in China and reflects the significance of such reserves.
