Hoya brevialata

Hoya brevialata is a small-leaved Sulawesi hoya described in 2001, with thick rounded leaves and clusters of small cream flowers with pink to red centres. It is a lowland forest epiphyte that wants warmth every night of the year, high humidity and brighter light than most hoyas; it is easy on a windowsill once it has roots.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte of lowland and lower hill forest on Sulawesi, growing on trunks and branches in partly open forest where the succulent leaves suggest bright, intermittently dry conditions. Habitat is inferred from the record sites and the leaf type; no species-specific ecology was reachable.

The four record sites lie between about 80 and 630 m, in the lowlands and low hills of Central Sulawesi and Gorontalo.
