Hoya buruensis

Hoya buruensis was described by Miquel in 1869 from the island of Buru in Maluku and is now in cultivation, valued for its neat leaves and small pale flowers. The measured site is in the hills of central Buru at about 630 m, where it is mild rather than hot, very humid, and wettest from May to July under the south-east monsoon, so at home it likes intermediate warmth, high humidity and a slightly drier, brighter spell in October and November.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte of hill forest on Buru, climbing trunks in filtered light in a humid, mist-prone landscape. Habitat detail is inferred from the record site and the genus; no species-specific ecology was reachable.

The climate site sits at about 630 m in central Buru; the three records carry no elevation, so the species may also occur lower.
