Hoya corollimarginata

Hoya corollimarginata was described by Kloppenburg in 2017 (Hoya New 6(3): 11) from Samoa and is known only from that description; GBIF has no wild records. Treat it as a Samoan wet-forest epiphyte: warm and very even temperatures, high humidity, bright filtered light and a fast-draining mix. The measured climate is a Samoan centroid adjusted to 738 m, so it runs a little cooler than the lowland forest most Samoan hoyas occupy.

Where it grows wild

Not described in any source reached. Samoan hoyas (H. australis, H. betchei, H. pottsii and relatives) grow as epiphytic climbers in humid lowland and hill rainforest on Upolu and Savai'i, often near the coast and along ridges.

Unknown. The measured site is a 738 m centroid; most Samoan hoya collections are from sea level to about 600 m, so the real site is probably warmer than shown.
