Hoya kuhlii

Hoya kuhlii is a West Javan species named by Koorders in 1912 for the naturalist Heinrich Kuhl, and it is almost unknown in cultivation. The georeferenced herbarium record comes from forest on Gunung Salak near Bogor at about 1,360 m, so it is a cool-tempered montane hoya from a climate with a marked dry season from June to September.

Where it grows wild

An epiphytic climber in montane rainforest of West Java, collected in forest on Gunung Salak; a further observation from Gunung Payung in Banten suggests it also occurs at lower elevations.

The georeferenced site is at about 1,360 m on Gunung Salak; most West Javan records are montane, though the Banten observation is lowland. Treat 800 to 1,500 m as the core.
