Hoya edeni

Hoya edeni was described in Hooker's Flora of British India in 1883 from the eastern Himalayan foothills and is recorded from Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan through Assam into Myanmar. It is a hill-forest hoya of the monsoon belt, seeing warm wet summers and a cool, dry, bright winter, and it is one of the few in this batch with a real seasonal rest.

Where it grows wild

An epiphytic climber of subtropical broadleaf forest on the Himalayan foothills and the hills of Assam and Myanmar, on trunks and branches in bright but filtered light, often in humid valleys.

Probably 300 to 1,500 m in the foothill and mid-hill zone. The measured sites include two high-altitude centroids at 2,300 and 3,400 m that drag the averages far too cold.
