Hoya bandaensis

A Hoya known only from the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, and by its name presumably from the Banda Islands. Almost nothing about its habitat is published, so these conditions are generalised from lowland Moluccan forest hoyas: warm, humid and bright but shaded, with no cool or dry season.

Where it grows wild

A climbing or trailing epiphytic vine, as in almost all Hoya. Its forest type is undocumented; the Banda and nearby Moluccan islands carry lowland evergreen forest.

No elevation is recorded. The Banda Islands are small and low apart from the Gunung Api volcano, so it is probably a lowland plant.
