Hoya lockii

Hoya lockii is an epiphytic hoya described in 2012 by Pham and Averyanov from the mountains of central Vietnam. All the herbarium collections come from about 1,000 m in Thua Thien-Hue and the neighbouring central highlands. Published detail on its habitat is thin, so treat it as a warm-to-intermediate, humid, submontane forest hoya.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte in wet tropical evergreen forest, according to Wikipedia. Its plastome places it close to Hoya exilis from New Guinea. The herbarium labels we could see give locality and altitude but no host or microhabitat notes, so its exact exposure is uncertain.

The herbarium collections with an altitude are all at about 1,000–1,050 m (A Luoi district, Thua Thien-Hue, and further south in the central highlands).
