Hoya epedunculata

Hoya epedunculata was described by Schlechter in 1913 from New Guinea; the epithet refers to its flower clusters sitting almost without a stalk. The three wild records span the Sepik lowlands at about 360 m and the Eastern Highlands near 1700 m, and the measured climate is warm, evenly humid and rainy all year, so it grows as a warm-intermediate hoya.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic vine of hill and lower montane rainforest, on trunks and branches under a broken canopy in a region with rain in every month; nothing beyond the original description is published.

Records lie at about 360 and 1700 m, so the species spans lowland hill forest to lower montane forest.
