Hoya mappigera

Hoya mappigera was described by Rodda and Simonsson in 2011 from the Malesian region and is recorded from Peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand and Borneo. It is a lowland to hill-forest epiphyte of an everwet climate: warm every month, humid, rain in every season. Grow it warm, humid and shaded from direct sun, and never give it a cold or dry rest.

Where it grows wild

Epiphytic twiner in lowland and hill rainforest, probably in the mid-canopy of dipterocarp forest where it gets filtered light and constant humidity. No collection carries an elevation; the sampled climate sites sit between about 70 and 430 m.

Lowland to hill forest, roughly 50 to 500 m, inferred from the sampled native-region sites; no measured elevations.
