Hoya dasyantha

A little-known Hoya described by Tsiang in 1936 from Hainan, China, where it was collected at Taiping near Wanning in 1935. Very little is published about it, so conditions here come from the measured Hainan climate and how other Hainan and south China hoyas grow: warm, humid summers and a mild, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

The type collections are from Hainan; a later specimen is labelled Yunnan. Like most hoyas it is presumed to be a climbing epiphyte in forest, but its habit and habitat are not described in the sources we opened.

No elevations are recorded; the measured site is at low elevation (76 m) in south-east Hainan.
