Hoya dennisii

A compact Hoya from the wet mountain forests of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Collectors value it for its restrained growth and because its flowers do not drip nectar. It grows as an epiphytic climber along creeks in rainforest at about 650-1,100 m, and needs warm, humid, stable conditions.
