Hoya mamasa

Hoya mamasa (Rahayu, Ahmad and Rodda) is a recently described Sulawesi endemic named for the Mamasa highlands of West Sulawesi, a cool, misty upland district well above 1000 m. GBIF holds no wild records, and the measured climate is a Sulawesi centroid at 495 m that runs warmer than the Mamasa uplands. Grow it as an intermediate montane epiphyte: bright filtered light, cool nights and steady high humidity with moving air.

Where it grows wild

Not described in any source reached beyond the name. The Mamasa district is rugged upland forest at roughly 1000 to 1800 m with frequent cloud; a hoya from there climbs mossy trunks in humid montane rainforest.

Unrecorded; the eponymous Mamasa district lies mostly between 1000 and 1800 m, far above the 495 m measured point.
