Hoya finlaysonii

A Hoya of southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo, described by Wight in 1834 from Finlayson's collection (lectotype possibly from Penang). It is a lowland tropical plant; the measured climate here is badly skewed by a record placed near the summit of Mount Kinabalu.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphytic climber of lowland forest; no habitat notes were found in the sources we reached.

No recorded elevations. One climate site is at 3415 m on Kinabalu and one at sea level in southern Thailand; the lowland site is the credible one.
