Hoya isabelchanae

Hoya isabelchanae is a Sulawesi endemic described by Rodda and Simonsson in PhytoKeys in 2016 and still scarce in cultivation. No wild records are georeferenced, so this profile uses a hill-forest placeholder site in central Sulawesi at about 500 m: mild, very humid and wet in every month, with cooler nights than the Philippine lowland hoyas.
