Hoya gaoligongensis
A recently described Hoya (2020) from the Gaoligong Mountains of western and north-western Yunnan, China, where it grows as an epiphytic liana on the trunks of large trees in moist evergreen broadleaf forest at 2,000–2,400 m. It has thick, rigid, narrow oblanceolate leaves and is related to Hoya yuennanensis and H. globulosa. It is a cool-growing montane hoya: think mild summers, cool dry winters and moist air, not a lowland tropical hothouse.
Where it grows wild
An epiphytic liana on the surface of giant trees in moist, evergreen, broad-leaved forest. The describers stress that it depends on well-preserved forest with high humidity, suitable temperatures and a layer of humus accumulated on the bark, where its adventitious roots anchor.
Recorded at about 2,000–2,400 m, in mid-elevation montane forest.
