Hoya aphylla

A leafless Hoya from Laos described in 2019 by Averyanov, Nguyen and Averyanova, in work on the flora of Hin Nam No, a limestone karst area in Khammouane. Photosynthesis happens in its green stems, so it should be treated as a succulent-stemmed climber that dislikes staying wet.

Where it grows wild

Its description is tied to Hin Nam No, a limestone karst landscape; we could not open the paper, so the exact microhabitat (on karst rocks or on trees) is inferred rather than confirmed.

Unknown. The climate point used is at 451 m in central Laos, not at Hin Nam No itself.
