Hoya collettii

Hoya collettii is a little-known Myanmar hoya described by Schlechter in 1914 from collections by Henry Collett, who botanised the Shan hills; nothing has been published on its ecology since. Grow it as a monsoon-climate hoya: warm and wet through the summer, then noticeably cooler, drier and brighter from November to April.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes exist for this species. Collett's Myanmar collections came largely from hill forest of the Shan Plateau, so a lithophytic or epiphytic hoya of seasonally dry mixed forest, often on limestone, is the best guess.

No elevation is recorded; the placeholder site sits at 462 m, while the Shan hills where Collett worked are mostly 900 to 1,500 m.
