Hoya maquilingensis

Hoya maquilingensis was published by Kloppenburg in 2018 and is named for Mount Makiling in Laguna, Luzon, a forested volcanic mountain that rises to about 1,100 m and is one of the best-collected sites in the Philippines. Expect a warm, humid forest epiphyte that likes filtered light, constant humidity and a mild drier spell in late winter. Almost nothing is published beyond the description, so this profile leans on the mountain's climate and the genus.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphytic twiner in the lowland to lower montane rainforest of Mount Makiling, where dipterocarp forest grades into mossy forest above about 700 m. Filtered canopy light and humid, rain-washed air are the norm.

Mount Makiling forest runs from about 100 to 1,100 m; the species' exact elevation is not published. Assume 300 to 900 m.
