Hoya isabelaensis

Hoya isabelaensis was described by Kloppenburg, Siar and Ferreras in 2011 and takes its name from Isabela Province in north-eastern Luzon, on the wet Pacific side of the Sierra Madre. Treat it as a warm, humid Luzon forest epiphyte; the placeholder climate below is lowland and probably a little hotter and more seasonal than its home forest.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic vine of humid evergreen forest in the Sierra Madre foothills of Isabela, where north-east trade winds bring rain most of the year.

No elevation is recorded; the placeholder climate site sits at 9 m in Mindoro. Sierra Madre forest at a few hundred metres would run 1 to 3 C cooler.
