Hoya kipandiensis

Hoya kipandiensis was described in 2014 from Sabah, Borneo, and is named after Kipandi in the Crocker Range foothills, a hill-forest area at roughly 500 to 800 m. It is a rarely grown species with nothing published on its cultivation, so treat it as a warm, humid hill-forest epiphyte from ever-wet Borneo.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic climber in humid hill dipterocarp to lower montane forest of the Crocker Range, Sabah; the databases carry no elevation or habitat notes.

No wild record has an elevation. The type area around Kipandi lies at about 500 to 800 m on the Crocker Range slopes, so expect a hill-forest plant slightly cooler than the Bornean lowlands.
