Hoya domaensis

Hoya domaensis was described by Rodda and Simonsson in 2022 in Blumea from Papua New Guinea; the epithet points to the Doma area of the central highlands, which would make it a cool-growing montane species rather than the lowland plant the measured centroid suggests. Nothing beyond the description is published and GBIF holds no wild records. Grow it as an intermediate to cool New Guinea forest epiphyte with high humidity, moving air and water all year.

Where it grows wild

Not reached in any source beyond the citation. Recent Simonsson collections from Papua New Guinea are mostly epiphytes of mossy montane forest between 1,000 and 2,500 m, on trunks and branches in bright but cloud-filtered light.

Unknown, but the epithet suggests the Doma Peaks region of the highlands, which would put it well above the 170 m measured centroid, probably between 1,500 and 2,500 m.
