Hoya celsa

Hoya celsa was described in 2013 by Kloppenburg, Siar, Guevarra, Cajano and Carandang from the Philippines and is known almost only from that description; there are no georeferenced wild records. Treat it as a warm, humid lowland Philippine hoya until better field data appear. Very rare in cultivation.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic climber in humid lowland to hill forest, as for most Philippine hoyas; the description gives no usable habitat detail and no wild collection is mapped.

No elevation on record. The single climate site is a lowland stand-in at 9 m; if the plant proves to be a hill species, expect cooler figures.
