Hoya evelinae

Hoya evelinae was described by Simonsson and Rodda in 2017 in the Gardens' Bulletin Singapore from Papua New Guinea. It is a lowland rainforest epiphyte from one of the wettest, most humid regions on earth, and it wants warmth, deep humidity and no dry season at home.

Where it grows wild

An epiphytic climber of humid lowland rainforest in southern New Guinea, rooting into mossy bark in a canopy that is wet almost every day; from the genus and the region, not from a published habitat account.

The single climate site sits at 171 m in the southern lowlands; no wild record carries an elevation, and hill-forest populations would be a little cooler.
