plant identification

There was a plant I saw once that I really liked, but I can't remember 
what it is called.  I believe it is a Hawaian plant and it hung down from 
a hanging basket.  The flowers were in small clusters and the majority of 
the flower was white.  They dripped a honey like liquid and I was told it 
was edible, although they didn't produce enough to do much with.  The 
flowers were a squarish shape before opening then opened to a star shape.

The leaves were simple and opposite.  They were either lanceolate or 
ovate in shape with smooth margins.  They were pinnately veined with the 
side veins close to invisible.

If anyone could give me any ideas on what this plant is and what sort of 
conditons it grows in, I'd appreciate it.
