Hoya frakeii

Hoya frakeii is a Philippine hoya named by Dale Kloppenburg in 2019 in the self-published journal Hoya New, largely from cultivated material. It was published in Hoya New 9(1) in 2019 and is barely known outside a few collections. Nothing has been published on its wild habitat, so this profile is built from the Philippine climate and what Philippine forest hoyas in general need.

Where it grows wild

Unknown in detail. Philippine hoyas are almost all epiphytic climbers of humid evergreen forest, rooting into mossy bark and leaf litter on trunks and branches from the lowlands into the hills.

No wild record carries an elevation. The single climate site is a country placeholder on the coast at 9 m; a hill-forest origin, a few degrees cooler, is at least as likely.
