Hoya lanataiensis

Hoya lanataiensis was described by Kloppenburg in 2017 in Hoya New from Samoa. GBIF holds no wild records and the protologue was not reachable, so the exact locality is unknown; the measured site is the Upolu upland centroid at 738 m, and the conditions below assume the humid montane forest of that island. Treat it as an intermediate, very humid grower.

Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphytic on mossy trunks and branches in wet Samoan forest. Whether it comes from the cloudy uplands or from warmer lowland forest is not known; the profile follows the measured upland site.

The measured site sits at 738 m in the central uplands of Upolu, in the belt of mossy montane forest around Lake Lanoto'o; the species is presumed to come from that zone, roughly 500 to 900 m.
