Hoya dalrympleana

Hoya dalrympleana was described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1860 from north-east Queensland and named for the explorer George Dalrymple. GBIF keeps the name as accepted, but the variant spelling dalrympliana is filed as a synonym of Hoya australis and Australian treatments place it within that widespread coastal species, so grow it as a Queensland Hoya australis: bright light, a warm wet summer, a cooler drier winter and a coarse fast-draining mix. It is a vigorous climber that tolerates more sun and cooler nights than most hoyas.

Where it grows wild

Climbing epiphyte and lithophyte of coastal and near-coastal Queensland: rainforest margins, vine thickets, beach scrub and rock outcrops, from sea level to the tablelands.

Sea level to about 1,000 m in the Hoya australis complex; the Dalrymple type region is coastal lowland near Rockingham Bay.
