Hoya longipes

Hoya longipes is a name attributed to Schlechter and published by Elmer in 1938 in Leaflets of Philippine Botany as a bare name without a description, so it has never been properly circumscribed and no wild records, elevation or climate data exist for it. Anything sold under this name should be grown as a warm Philippine lowland hoya until its identity is settled.

Where it grows wild

Nothing is documented: the name was published without a description or locality beyond the Philippine context of Elmer's work. Philippine hoyas of the period are mostly epiphytes of lowland to hill rainforest.

No elevation data; Elmer's collections came from lowland to lower montane forest, mostly below 1500 m.
