Hoya eugenioides

Hoya eugenioides is a Philippine name attributed to Schlechter and published by Elmer in 1938 in Leaflets of Philippine Botany only as a passing mention, so it has never had a proper description and Kew gives it no distribution; the epithet says its leaves resemble Eugenia. The one wild record is from the mountains of Panay at about 1400 m, which if correct makes it a cool, wet montane hoya rather than a typical lowland one.

Where it grows wild

If the Panay record is right, an epiphyte of mossy lower montane forest on the Madja-as range, on trunks and branches in cloud-bathed, evenly cool and humid air; the habitat is inferred from the location, not recorded.

The single record sits at about 1400 m; there is no other elevation information.
