Hoya intermedia

Hoya intermedia Schltr. ex Elmer is a Philippine name published only in passing in Elmer's Leaflets of Philippine Botany (1938) and never properly described; GBIF holds a few herbarium specimens from Catanduanes and Zamboanga on Mindanao, and no climate could be measured for it. Grow it as a warm, humid Philippine epiphyte with bright filtered light and a coarse mix that dries a little between waterings.
