Where it grows wild

An epiphytic twiner of humid New Guinea forest; the protologue was not reachable, so canopy position is inferred from the genus. The single climate site is a country placeholder at 171 m in the southern lowlands.

No measured elevation; New Guinea Hoya of this group are mostly lowland to hill forest plants below about 1000 m.
