Hoya aeschynanthoides
Hoya aeschynanthoides is a small, poorly known epiphytic hoya that Schlechter described from Kutai in East Kalimantan, Borneo, collected in 1901 on trees at Long Deh. It has slender, thread-like hanging stems, small hairy ovate leaves 1.5 to 2.3 cm long, and umbels of tiny white flowers about 5 mm across. Its growth habit resembles Hoya lacunosa. Almost nothing is recorded about its habitat, so grow it like other lowland Bornean epiphytic hoyas: warm, humid and in bright shade.
Where it grows wild
The only Bornean record says it grew on trees at Long Deh on the Mahakam River system in lowland East Kalimantan. It is an epiphytic subshrub with hanging or sprawling branches and aerial roots. No further field notes were found.
No elevation is recorded. Long Deh is on the lowland Mahakam basin, probably below 300 m, but this is an inference.
