Hoya artwhistleri

Hoya artwhistleri was described by Kloppenburg in 2017 (Hoya New) from Samoa, named for the Samoan botanist Art Whistler; nothing beyond the description is published and GBIF has no wild records. Treat it as a Samoan rainforest epiphyte: warm and even, very humid, rain most of the year with a slightly drier mid-year, and bright filtered light. The measured climate is a Samoa centroid adjusted to about 740 m, which is likely cooler than a lowland plant would see.

Where it grows wild

Not described in any source reached. Samoan hoyas grow as epiphytic climbers in wet lowland to montane rainforest on the volcanic slopes of Upolu and Savai'i, on mossy trunks and branches.

Unknown; the centroid used for the climate sits at about 740 m, but Samoan forest runs from sea level to 1,800 m.
