Hoya ignorata

An epiphytic Hoya described in 2011 by Tran, Rodda, Simonsson and Lee, known from Vietnam, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. Very little habitat information is published, so its needs here are estimated from its range and from other epiphytic hoyas of South-East Asian forests: warm, bright filtered light, moderate humidity and a free-draining mix.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte in forest; one herbarium record is from the Co Ba forest reserve in Nghe An province, north-central Vietnam. No detailed habitat notes were found. Like most epiphytic hoyas it probably grows on trunks and branches in bright, broken shade.

No elevations are recorded for the wild records.
