Hoya josephinae

Hoya josephinae was described by Cabrera and Mohr in 2013 in Schlechteriana and is recorded from Mindoro in the Philippines. It has no georeferenced wild records and no climate data of its own, so this profile borrows the lowland Mindoro reference climate used for other Philippine hoyas, which for once is the right island.

Where it grows wild

Assumed, as for most Philippine hoyas, to be an epiphytic vine on trunks and branches in humid evergreen forest, from the lowlands into the hills.

No elevation is recorded. The Mindoro reference site sits at 9 m; the island's forest rises to over 2,000 m, so a hill population would run cooler.
