Hoya caudata

A lowland Hoya from southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo, described by J.D. Hooker in 1883. Specimens come from lowland forest along rivers, such as the Besitang River in Sumatra and near Kuala Tahan in Pahang. It is a warm, shade-loving climber that needs constant humidity.
