Hoya chloroleuca

Hoya chloroleuca was described by Schlechter in 1913 from his collections in north-eastern New Guinea; the name means green-white, for the flowers. It is known essentially from the type and has no georeferenced wild records, so the profile is built from New Guinea's warm, ever-wet lowland-to-foothill climate and the habits of New Guinea hoyas. Practically absent from cultivation.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic climber in humid lowland to foothill rainforest, as Schlechter's hoyas from the Madang and Morobe hinterland generally were; no habitat detail is on record.

No elevation recorded; the single climate site is a New Guinea stand-in at 171 m. Schlechter's collecting grounds ranged from the coast to about 1000 m.
