While Michelia is of the genus of flowering plants, what is Houttuynia?
Houttuynia Houttuynia is a genus of two species in the Saururaceae native to Southeast Asia. One species, "H. cordata", is widely cultivated as a culinary herb. The genus was originally described in 1783 by Carl Peter Thunberg when he formally described "H. cordata" as the only species. It remained a monotypic genus until 2001 when Zheng Yin Zhu and Shi Liang Zhang discovered and described a second species native to China, "H. emeiensis".
Hoya aldrichii Hoya aldrichii , commonly known as the Christmas Island Waxvine is a species of flowering plant in the Apocynaceae or dogbane family. It is a vine that is endemic to Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the north-eastern Indian Ocean, where it is a common epiphyte in the shrublands of the island’s coastal terraces. The specific epithet honours Captain Aldrich, commander of the survey vessel HMS "Egeria", which visited Christmas Island in 1887.
