Consulting the Website, I assume the plant is a Hoya. A Hoya species
is known as Wax plant and also porcellain flower plant. Ihe common
garden species in Europe is H. comosa, which has pink flowers and
lightly scented. The flowers come in umbell having even upto 50
flowers; The present one has yellowish white flowers, likely H.
obscura.In India Hoya is included in Red Data Book.

Hi, Sibdas ji,
Concise flowers of the Himalaya only gives Hoya lanceolata: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/53934/
But I don't see much details in your pictures to compare with it. However, you may check with the original pictures.

Gargji,
Himalaya is considered the Centre of Origin of Hoya,naturally a high
concentration of species is expected in this region. In Wikipedia I
find a number of Himalayan Hoya species, such as H. serpens, H.fusca,
H. thomsonii, H, polynura, H. arnottica, H. costacea , H, acuta,
H.longifolia, H, lanceolata, H. obscura so on.. This plant is
definitely not a lanceolata , Going through literature I come to an
assumption that this plant is more likely a H. arnottiana (
sub-Himalayan distribution, leave shape, blotches on leaves, flower
colour. number of flowers in an Umbell-20-30). Another photo with more
details attached)

Hello all
please dont mind i just need to correct that the plant with week stem
and which trails on ground are creepers;
this one which is refered is a climber. a climber can be tendrillar
climber or a twinner or climbing by other modified parts. this was
just for information.

Looks matching with Hoya arnottiana Wight
but image quality is so poor that is id difficult
to validate affirmatively.
Thank you
