Hoya aurigueana

A wax plant endemic to Quezon province on Luzon in the Philippines, described by Kloppenburg, Siar and Cajano in 2012 and named after the collector, Fernando Aurigue. Almost nothing is published about its habitat or elevation, and GBIF has no records. Grow it like other lowland to mid-elevation Philippine Hoyas: warm, bright filtered light, humid air and a chunky, fast-draining mix.

Where it grows wild

Its habitat is not described in the sources checked. Like most Philippine Hoyas it is presumably a climbing epiphyte in forest, rooting on trunks and branches.

No elevation is recorded in the sources checked. Quezon province runs from lowland coast to the Sierra Madre, so the targets assume lowland to mid-elevation forest.
