The Carlemanniaceae are a tropical East Asian and Southeast Asian family of subshrub to herbaceous perennial flowering plants with 2 genera. Older systems of plant taxonomy place the two genera, Carlemannia, and Silvianthus within the Caprifoliaceae or the Rubiaceae. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification of 2003 places the group in the Lamiales, as a plant family more closely related to the Oleaceae than to the Caprifoliaceae.

<i>Hoya retusa</i> Species of flowering plant

Hoya retusa is a species of flowering plant in the genus Hoya native to India and the eastern Himalayas. It is an epiphyte. The plant's specific epithet retusa refers to the shape, with retuse meaning it has a rounded leaf apex with a notch. It grows in a trailing habit and the foliage is succulent. Hoya retusa grows in clumps with long stems hanging downwards. The leaves arise in clusters. The flowers are fragrant, star-shaped having creamy petals and red corona at center.
