Hoya leytensis

Hoya leytensis is a Philippine wax plant collected by A.D.E. Elmer on the island of Leyte and formally published by C.M. Burton in 1988. Leyte faces the Pacific and is wet all year, so this is a warm, humid hoya with no real dry season and no rest period, unlike the Mindoro climate the automated data picked as a stand-in.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes reached. Elmer's Leyte collections came largely from the humid forests around Palo and Dagami in the island's east, at low to middle elevation, where hoyas grow as epiphytic climbers on trunks and branches.

Elevation not recorded; probably low to middle elevation forest on Leyte, below about 800 m.
