Hoya krusenstierniana

Hoya krusenstierniana was described by Simonsson and Rodda in 2017 from Papua New Guinea. Herbarium records come from the Mt Kaindi summit area at about 2,350 m and from podocarp scrub on peat in the Ok Tedi headwaters, so it is a cool montane hoya of open, mossy vegetation rather than a lowland grower.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte or scrambler of montane mossy forest and low podocarp scrub on peat soil in the Papua New Guinea highlands; the Ok Tedi label describes low scrub with scattered trees, mainly Podocarpaceae.

Recorded at 2,350 m on Mt Kaindi; the Ok Tedi headwaters site is upland too, though the climate grid assigns it only 869 m, so the measured temperatures run warm.
