Hoya luatekensis

Hoya luatekensis was described by Kloppenburg in 2017 from north-eastern Savai'i in Samoa and is known only from that island. It comes from an oceanic climate that barely changes through the year, so it wants steady warmth, high humidity and water in every month rather than any seasonal shift.
