Hoya brassii

Hoya brassii is a New Guinea species named for the collector L. J. Brass and formally published by Simonsson and Rodda, recorded from the western lowlands. The single wild record sits in hot, extremely wet lowland forest near the Fly and Strickland river basin, so it is a warm, humid, never-dry hoya.
