Hoya estrellaensis

Hoya estrellaensis is a Philippine endemic described by Green and Kloppenburg in 2012 in Asklepios; the epithet points to a locality called Estrella, but the protologue was not available and no georeferenced wild record exists. The conditions here come from a generic Philippine lowland climate and the habits of Philippine forest hoyas, and should be treated as a starting point rather than a description of its home.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic vine of lowland to hill rainforest, on trunks and branches under a broken canopy, like most recently described Philippine hoyas; the actual habitat was not available.

Unknown; the placeholder climate point is near sea level, and Philippine hoyas of this kind are mostly found below about 1000 m.
