Hoya chewiorum

Hoya chewiorum was described in 2014 by Lamb, Gavrus, Emoi and Gokusing in Sandakania, the journal of the Sabah Forestry Department, so it is a Bornean species from Sabah. No georeferenced wild records exist, and the profile below rests on the ever-wet Bornean climate and the habits of Bornean forest hoyas. Very rare in cultivation.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic climber in humid Bornean hill forest, on trunks and branches in dappled light; the description is not online and no habitat detail is on record.

No elevation recorded; the single climate site is an interior Borneo stand-in at 432 m. Sabah hoyas often come from 500 to 1500 m, so cooler hill figures are plausible.
